Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council procured non-destructive structural testing of its street-lighting columns and wall brackets, with findings reported to the Council. The work covers steel and galvanised steel columns ranging from 5 to 12 metres, and includes maintenance and cleaning of the luminaires. Inspections are to follow the Well-managed Highway Infrastructure Code of Practice and the Institution of Lighting Professionals’ Technical Report TR22. This is specialist street-lighting inspection and testing work, rather than general electrical installation. Delivery is for the Council in East Renfrewshire, including Giffnock. The requirement was awarded as a single package to one supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Electrical Testing Ltd; the contract is active and was signed on 23 September 2026. The award date is not separately stated. The Council used a one-stage open procedure. One bid was recorded. The contract value is £150,000, excluding VAT, and the contract period is 720 days, with an option for the Council to extend by a further 12 months. The tender submission deadline was 8 September 2026. Suppliers had to self-certify participation conditions through the Scottish Single Procurement Document, with proof potentially required before award. Selection covered technical suitability and financial standing, including adequate capacity and turnover. Required insurance includes employer’s liability of £10 million, public liability of £5 million and professional indemnity of £1 million, as well as third-party motor insurance.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand, this award shows East Renfrewshire Council buys specialist structural testing of street-lighting columns, together with luminaire maintenance and cleaning. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate competence in non-destructive structural testing of lighting columns and the ability to inspect steel and galvanised steel columns and wall brackets across a range of heights. The specified standards are the Well-managed Highway Infrastructure Code of Practice and ILP Technical Report TR22. Relevant UKAS accreditation for structural testing, ISO 9001, BINDT membership or membership of the Institution of Lighting Professionals was identified as suitable evidence; relevant alternative accreditation could also be considered. Suppliers need sound financial capacity and the stated insurance cover. Subcontractors may support delivery, but their suitability and financial strength can be assessed, and prompt payment across the supply chain is required.
