Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council is procuring a measured term service for periodic fixed electrical inspections across council properties throughout Dumfries and Galloway. The work is a specialist electrical compliance and inspection service, intended to help the Council maintain ongoing legal and safety compliance. The successful contractor must produce new Electrical Installation Condition Reports, including inspection schedules, test-result schedules, schematic drawings or distribution diagrams, defect schedules with recommendations, and distribution-board circuit reports. The procurement is for services and is principally classified as electrical engineering services (CPV 71314100). Delivery is required throughout the Dumfries and Galloway council area. The requirement is arranged as one lot and includes electronic ordering and electronic payment arrangements, with community benefits and a subcontracting clause forming part of the requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was amended to 2 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; tenders are to be opened at the same time. The contract is valued at £800,000 and has a stated duration of 1,800 days, intended as an initial five-year term. Bids must remain valid for 120 days. Evaluation is based on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. A document participation fee applies, and variants are not allowed. The Council may use an electronic auction. The contract is intended to recur when the term and any exercised extensions expire. The tender pack includes economic and technical selection criteria, and the requirement for named staff and qualifications.

This opportunity suits electrical inspection and testing contractors able to work across a dispersed council property portfolio and deliver consistent, auditable compliance records. Bidders need appropriately certified and qualified personnel, with staff names and professional qualifications provided as part of the offer. Relevant capability includes carrying out Electrical Installation Condition Reports, inspection and testing, distribution-board and circuit reporting, electrical schematics, defect identification, and recommendations for remedial action. Contractors should be able to manage programmed work at scale, maintain reliable quality controls, and produce complete technical documentation for each property. Experience of public-sector or estate-wide compliance programmes would be well suited to the requirement. Businesses considering a bid should also be prepared for electronic tendering, electronic ordering and payment, community-benefit commitments, subcontracting obligations, and evaluation through both quality and price.
