The council, located in Irvine, Scotland, initiated an open tender for these services to ensure the quality and safety of new installations, servicing, and repairs carried out by its gas and electrical installers. The procurement process, governed by the GPA open procedure, witnessed the council's collaboration with NICEIC Consulting, a trading brand of Certsure LLP, which has been awarded the contract valued at £200,000. The contract was signed on 14th April 2026 and is expected to commence from 1st April 2026 until 31st March 2029, with an option to extend for up to 24 months, based on performance and funding availability. The industry category falls under general public services, specifically focusing on services classified under CPV codes such as gas and electrical audits in the UKM93 region.

Businesses that are well-suited to compete are those with a proven track record in providing similar services of a corresponding scope, size, and value, as evidenced through previously completed contracts within the last three years. Suppliers holding UKAS-accredited certifications for inspection and audit activities, with membership in professional organisations such as IGEM and compliance with health, safety, environmental, and quality management standards (ISO certifications), will find this contract beneficial for expanding their portfolios within public sector partnerships. The contract includes community benefits aimed to enhance employment, skills development, and educational opportunities, aligning with North Ayrshire Council's commitment to fostering local economic growth.
