The procurement falls under the industry category of works, specifically electrical wiring and fitting work. The process commenced with an open competition below the threshold, leading to an award phase dated 18 March 2026. The tender status is marked as complete, leading to a framework agreement with Fortify Electrical Services Limited, acting as the sole supplier in a closed process without reopening for competition. Key dates include contract commencement on 1 April 2026, spanning initially for 24 months with an option to extend twice for additional 12-month periods, potentially reaching until 2030. The total contract value is approximately £4,800,000 gross. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical services within the Yorkshire and North East regions. The open competition nature encourages diverse participation, especially benefiting SMEs due to the structured tender policy accommodating small and medium enterprises. With provision for contract renewals and extensions, firms looking for long-term projects can leverage this to expand business operations and secure stable revenue. The focus on electrical upgrades positions businesses engaged in high-quality electrical installation and repair services, allowing them to compete for such lucrative projects. Companies that can offer innovative solutions to maximise the efficiency of electrical systems within housing can use this as a strategic growth opportunity. Given the scale of works and the potential for extended contract periods, businesses with the capacity for both large-scale projects and consistent quality performance stand to gain substantially. ## Notice Electrical Installations, Repairs and Replacement Works to Karbon Homes properties. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The Framework Agreement will be for an initial 24 month period, with an option to extend for a further 2 x 12 month period subject to satisfactory contract performance and the Contracting Authority still having the need and funding for the Contract.
