## Summary

Railway Housing Association and Benefit Fund procured ad hoc electrical repair and testing services for its housing stock. The requirement covers repair and maintenance of electrical building installations, delivered in the United Kingdom, to support responsive repairs and maintenance while the association reviews its existing provision and embeds new arrangements. The work is intended to provide additional capacity when the main contractor cannot meet demand or when demand peaks. This is a housing maintenance services requirement rather than a one-off construction project, and is relevant to electrical contractors able to undertake building-installation repairs and testing for a housing provider. The buyer is based in Darlington and the awarded supplier, C&DW Electrical, is based in County Durham.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to C&DW Electrical under a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026. Its gross value is £200,000, excluding any conversion of the stated amount, and the contract period runs from 31 March 2027 to 31 March 2027, with a single three-month extension available to cover delays in implementing post-review arrangements, taking the maximum end date to 30 June 2027. One lot was awarded and the award is active. The contract supports work during the buyer’s review of responsive repairs and maintenance provision; the existing main contractor remains in place under an earlier open-procedure contract.

This award demonstrates demand from Railway Housing Association and Benefit Fund for outsourced electrical building-installation repairs and testing alongside an incumbent main contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in responsive electrical maintenance, fault repairs and testing across housing-related properties, with sufficient operational capacity to handle overflow work and peaks in demand. The arrangement also indicates that the buyer values flexibility: a supplier must be able to respond to ad hoc instructions rather than only deliver a fixed programme. Contractors serving the North East, including County Durham and surrounding areas, may be well placed operationally, provided they can demonstrate relevant housing maintenance experience, reliable response arrangements and the workforce needed to supplement a larger primary provider.

## Notice

Railway Housing Association is currently carrying out a review of its responsive repairs and maintenance provision. The current main contractor was awarded following an Open Procedure under the PCR 2015 and remains in contract. This contact is awarded for the delivery of ad-hoc works when the main contractor has insufficient capacity or there are peaks in demand whilst the review takes place and new arrangements are embedded.
