Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council procured works to replace electrical wiring throughout entire properties in Caithness. The scope includes associated fittings, extractor fans, lighting and electrical sockets, so the requirement covers complete property rewires rather than isolated repairs. The procurement is categorised as works and also classified under CPV 50800000, covering miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. The buying organisation is Highland Council, with the work relating to its housing or property assets in the Caithness area. This requirement is relevant to electrical contractors able to undertake full rewires in occupied or unoccupied properties, remove and replace existing installations, and install or reconnect the associated fixtures and equipment as part of one coordinated works package.

This procurement has been awarded. Highland Council used a direct award procedure, appointing a single supplier without competition. Sangster Electrical Ltd was selected for the electrical rewiring works, with an awarded value of £144,681.70 including the published GBP currency. The award was supported by one bid. The associated contract is active and was signed on 5 August 2026. The process therefore represents a completed supplier-selection exercise rather than an invitation for further bids. The evaluation route was the direct appointment of one supplier, rather than a competitive assessment between multiple tenders. The award covers the full described package of property rewiring, fittings, extractor fans, lighting and sockets.

This award demonstrates demand from Highland Council for a specialist electrical contractor able to deliver complete property rewiring packages in Caithness. A credible future competitor would need qualified electrical personnel, suitable testing and certification capability, and the operational capacity to work across entire properties rather than provide only minor maintenance or isolated component replacement. Experience coordinating rewiring with associated fittings, extractor fans, lighting and sockets would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage surveying, isolation and removal of existing installations, installation of replacement systems, testing, documentation and safe handover. The single-supplier route indicates that a provider able to take end-to-end responsibility for the package can satisfy this buyer’s requirement.
