Over the last 25 years the Council has delivered an ongoing programme of electrical upgrading and improvement works, which has been delivered alongside the existing in- house electrical maintenance team delivering responsive maintenance and void checks. D. This contract aims to deliver the following elements of work: - • Approximately 30 full electrical re-wires per annum (primarily but not exclusively in void dwellings). • Approximately 480 electrical upgrades per annum (focusing on electrical safety, replacement of key components and any defective fixtures and fittings). • A programme of 1100 Electrical Installation Conditioning Reports (EICR's) with the aim that all properties will have a valid EICR in place at any given time. Note: This document defines the level of work in Year One of the contract and although it is expected there will be a similar level of work in future years, this is not guaranteed. Equally, the in-house Repairs Team also employs electricians who fulfil a responsive maintenance service including void electrical checks. Consequently, the Council does not guarantee that all electrical works of the nature outlined within this contract will be undertaken by the external provider.
