## Summary

In a recent public procurement initiative, Ipswich Borough Council is inviting tenders for the "Communal Area Rewire to HRA Flat Blocks" project. This endeavour falls under the industry category of electrical installation work and is located in Ipswich, United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the opportunity being open for submissions until 10th August 2026, following an enquiry period ending on 3rd August 2026. The contract, worth approximately £1,080,000, will appoint a service provider for a 9-month term starting 1st October 2026. The procurement method entails an open competition under a below-threshold scheme, and interested parties can find submission details on the Suffolk Sourcing website.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the electrical installation sector, particularly those experienced in large-scale rewiring projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, reflecting the Council's commitment to inclusive economic growth. The award criteria balance cost and quality (60% price and 40% quality), enabling competitive bids from companies that can deliver high-quality work efficiently. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio and establish a foothold in public sector contracts will find this opportunity particularly advantageous.

## Notice

Of the General Needs flat blocks tested in 2025, 59 parent installations have been identified as needing a rewire due to their age and condition. Some of the installations serve more than one block. There are 103 blocks served by the 59 parent installations. The Council intends to enter into a Contract with the preferred Tenderer (the "Service Provider") on a 9-month contract term.
