Decision

Approve the award of the contract for the
provision of Electrical Safety Systems (Electrical Installation
Condition Reporting and Electrical Equipment Testing) to Bidder 1
for an initial term of 3 years and a further 7 years subject to
satisfactory performance.

Reasons for the decision

The current contracts for EICR and EET
services expired on 30 September 2025 and EET expires July 2026
respectively. To ensure statutory compliance with the Health and
Safety at Work Act 1974, Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and
related legislation, a new consolidated contract is required to
deliver these services across the Council’s corporate
property portfolio and buy-back schools.

Alternative options considered

Framework options were considered along with
restricted and open tendering. An open tender procedure was
selected as this provides maximum competition whilst also
potentially lowering costs through wider participation.
