Electrical Installation Condition Reports

Derwentside Homes are looking for suitably qualified electrical contractors to carry out between 200 to 1000 electrical condition surveys to domestic properties. Contractors shall adhere to best practice as described in guides issued by the IET (previously the IEE) and NICEIC in particular the IET Guidance Note 3 Inspection and Testing 7th Edition and Electrical Safety First Best Practice Guide 4 (Issue 4). Approved contractors may also be required to carry out certain repairs, including emergency repairs, and are required to be in a position to attend site within two hours of request. Location within the area is therefore beneficial. Contractors will be required to provide details of their registration, health and safety information, insurances, together with a priced Schedule of Rates and a cost per property for undertaking a 100% survey of individual properties. This will include all administration associated with the works (including arranging access, paperwork, reports etc)

Additional information: To encourage the use of local SME's, Derwentside Homes reserve the right to employ more than one and not more than three suitably qualified contractors to carry out these works over the next 12 months, depending upon workload, available resources and the like. In addition, contractors shall note the requirement to carry out certain works/surveys at very short notice, for example within two hours of order. A north east based office would therefore be of benefit to contractors. Contractors shall include within their submission the cost of undertaking 100% electrical condition inspection, report and administration as required, together with a completed Schedule or Rates should Derwentside Homes request additional works to be carried out.
