Marking a major investment, the Northern Ireland Housing Executive is seeking market engagement for an upcoming Periodic Electrical Wiring Inspections contract valued at £27.4m over 60 months. This pivotal project involves periodic inspection and testing of fixed electrical installations within NIHE properties across Northern Ireland. The contractor will ensure compliance with BS7671 standards, execute remedial works, and replace outdated smoke and heat detectors. A key highlight is NIHE’s shift from a 10-year to a 5-year inspection cycle, aligning with best practice standards.

The opportunity forms part of the borough’s wider operational support for its facilities, and suppliers must submit interest via the London Tenders Portal.

Property renewal is also on the agenda in Kent, Ashford Borough Council has released a tender for Roof Refurbishment and the renewal of pitched roof coverings at Cheeselands, Biddenden. The project, worth £180k over 3 months, includes associated external works. An opportunity tied to wider regeneration plans has been announced by Crown Estate Scotland which is seeking a contractor for a Roof Replacement Project at Upper Dahousie Farm in Bonnyrigg. While the value is currently unspecified, this 4-month contract involves removing the existing roof—suspected to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)—and replacing it with a new structure. The broader scope of works includes heating system renewals, photovoltaic installations, insulation upgrades, joinery enhancements, and internal decorations as part of a wider property refurbishment effort.
