two.1.4) Short description

The Council required a new contract to be put in place for provision of Electrical Inspection Condition Reports. These inspections will be carried out on domestic properties. The contract must be put in place to allow the Council to adhere to its duties from the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 as well as to meet The Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS). The act requires that domestic properties under the Councils control receive periodic electrical inspection and condition reports (EICR). EICR tests involve a visual inspection and functional testing of the electrical installation, including the wiring, consumer units (fuse boxes), switches, sockets, and any other electrical equipment. The test report will highlight any issues found, such as damaged wiring, outdated equipment, or missing earthing and provide recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades. If the repairs are minor then the contract will include for this to be carried out whilst the contractor is on site.

This procurement was conducted via the Public Contracts Scotland - Tender portal (PCS-T). We applied a one stage Open procedure.
