## Summary

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is undertaking a contracting process for the periodic electrical inspection and testing of domestic properties across multiple regions in Northern Ireland. These contracts involve inspecting and testing fixed electrical installations, ensuring they conform to the BS7671 standards, within a 5-year cycle. This procurement is stationed in Belfast and encompasses ten distinct service areas, including South and East Belfast and South Antrim. The procurement methodology employed is an open procedure, adhering to the UK's central government regulations, with contracts awarded starting 1st May 2026 and potentially extending up to 2033. A significant aspect of the process involves social value commitments from suppliers, alongside quality assurance, economic, and technical selection criteria. Contracts have been awarded to SMEs and cover services related to electrical inspection and testing across various lots.

This procurement presents valuable business growth opportunities, notably for SMEs engaged in electrical installation and maintenance services, by providing a broad platform to support and expand within the government sector. Suitable businesses include those with strong technical expertise and capacity in electrical services and maintenance. The potential for contract renewals, as well as opportunities for contractors to offer back-up support to neighbouring lots, enhances the prospects for sustained business engagement and expenditure. These contracts not only facilitate compliance with evolving electrical standards but also integrate renewable technologies, thereby widening the scope for business involvement in service delivery within the housing sector. The integration of social value objectives further supports businesses committed to social impact and community engagement.

## Notice

The Contractors will record any non-compliances with BS7671, as amended and use observation classification codes, C1, C2, C3 and FI to indicate where remedial work and/or further investigation must be undertaken. If observations are made with the electrical installation, requiring classification codes C1, C2 and FI, then remedial work will be required, these remedial works should be undertaken by the Contractor during the completion of the inspection and testing. Upon completion of the remedial works relating to observations classified as C1, C2 and FI, the Contractor must issue a fully completed Electrical Installation Condition Report with a Satisfactory overall assessment of the installation in terms of its suitability for continued use.
