## Summary

The University of Edinburgh commissioned building electrical safety testing and associated remedial works across its estate in Edinburgh. The services cover fixed-wire testing, fixed-appliance testing and residual-current device (RCD) testing, with repairs required where testing identifies defects. The requirement is divided between two estate zones: Central Zone Buildings and Accommodation Zone Buildings, and Science and Engineering Zone Buildings together with Medical and Veterinary Zone Buildings. This is a planned, recurring compliance and maintenance service for a substantial university property portfolio, requiring suppliers able to organise testing across different building types and complete remedial electrical works. The main service classification is CPV 71314100, covering electrical services.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. Two separate awards were made on 29 July 2026. Lot 1, covering Central Zone Buildings and Accommodation Zone Buildings, was awarded to PHS Compliance; its active contract is worth £799,042.90. Lot 2, covering Science and Engineering Zone Buildings and Medical and Veterinary Zone Buildings, was awarded to Comply2 Limited; its active contract is worth £617,717.32. Both contracts were signed on 29 July 2026 and run from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031. Each has an initial two-year period with options for three further 12-month extensions. Five electronic bids were received for each lot, all from SMEs.

This award demonstrates demand for suppliers combining electrical inspection, testing and remedial capability across a large, varied university estate. Credible competitors will need practical expertise in fixed-wire testing, portable or fixed-appliance testing and RCD testing, together with the ability to diagnose faults and carry out compliant remedial works. The requirement suits firms with enough operational capacity to coordinate programmes across multiple building zones, maintain reliable records and work safely around education, science, engineering, medical and veterinary facilities. Both successful suppliers were SMEs, and all bids were from SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller businesses can compete for this type of estates compliance work when they can demonstrate suitable technical resources, delivery capacity and relevant experience.
