The scope is expected to include:
- Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) within occupied and void domestic properties.
- Inspection, testing and certification of electrical installations in accordance with BS 7671, the Electricity at Work Regulations and all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
- Identification, classification and reporting of defects, observations and compliance risks.
- Associated remedial works, including completion of C1 and C2 defects and other agreed corrective works.
- Provision of digital certification, photographic evidence, compliance records, asset data and management information compatible with Trent & Dove's compliance management systems.

- Technical advice and support relating to electrical compliance, asset condition and future investment planning.
The anticipated contract term is expected to be an initial three-year period with the option to extend for up to two further periods of twelve months.
The purpose of this market engagement is to obtain supplier feedback regarding contract structure, delivery models, workforce competency requirements, quality assurance arrangements, resident engagement approaches, digital compliance solutions, sustainability initiatives and future regulatory developments affecting electrical compliance services.
Feedback received through this engagement will help inform the final procurement strategy, service specification, performance framework and tender documentation.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means registered in East Midlands.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside East Midlands.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 108 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
