## Summary

River Clyde Homes is seeking a contractor for electrical inspection and upgrade works in Greenock and the Inverclyde area. The work covers communal areas in common closes, high-rise blocks and supported living accommodation. It includes Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), follow-on remedial repairs where instructed, including close rewiring and main switch isolators, and full electrical upgrades at identified properties. Materials and replacement parts must be fit for purpose and use open protocols where possible. The scope includes an initial set of inspections and an ongoing rolling programme of EICRs, alongside repair and upgrade work. River Clyde Homes will instruct remedial work based on inspection findings. Suppliers can arrange visits to typical properties before bidding, and the contract also requires community benefits specific to Inverclyde.

River Clyde Homes invited tenders through an open procedure. The process reached the tender stage, with bids submitted electronically through the Public Contracts Scotland tender postbox. The submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12 noon; enquiries were to be raised through the platform’s question-and-answer function. The initial contract period is two years, with options for two further 12-month extensions, subject to performance and bidder agreement. The tender describes a single work package and sets a two-stage evaluation: bidders must first evidence technical capacity and experience through the SPD before progressing to full tender evaluation. The stated selection requirement is current NICEIC or SELECT membership and Safe Isolation Provider status. The evaluation basis and contract value are not stated in the available procurement information.

This opportunity is suited to electrical contractors with proven capacity and experience carrying out communal-area inspections and electrical upgrade work across housing, high-rise and supported-living properties. Firms need to evidence current NICEIC or SELECT membership and Safe Isolation Provider status, and must be able to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The programme calls for inspection capability as well as the resources to deliver remedial repairs, close rewiring, main switch isolator installations and full upgrades when instructed. Suppliers should be equipped to manage a continuing stream of EICRs and follow-on works across multiple properties, and to use fit-for-purpose materials and open protocols where possible. Bids must also set out specific, tangible community benefits for Inverclyde, such as local recruitment or training, supply-chain initiatives, environmental measures or education support.
