Electrical Installation Condition Reporting (EICR) with Technology-Enabled Compliance and Risk Management

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

NHS Property Services Limited publishes Engineering & Architecture work continuously — 6 notices, roughly one every 76 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

61% of NHS Property Services Limited’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

NHS Property Services (“the Authority”) is seeking early market input from suitably qualified and experienced providers in relation to the future procurement of a national programme of Electrical Installation Condition Reporting (EICR) and associated services across its estate.

The requirement will encompass 100% inspection and testing of low-voltage fixed wiring systems and permanently connected equipment, with no limitations to Insulation Resistance and to be delivered in accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, within a five-year cyclical testing programme.

Services will be delivered across a diverse healthcare estate, including critical clinical environments, and suppliers will be expected to demonstrate robust experience, essential health and safety management, HTM-compliant working practices, appropriately vetted and competent engineers (including enhanced DBS/BPSS), and adherence to local permit-to-work and induction protocols.

The Authority is particularly interested in innovative, technology-enabled approaches that enhances safety, avoids disruption to clinical operations, and overcomes testing limitations.

In particular, the provision of Fixed Wire Testing (EICR) utilising a validated Non-Disruptive Insulation Resistance Testing method to assess insulation safely, under load conditions without dismantling of connections and removal of loads.

This preliminary market engagement is intended to: 1.

Test the maturity and capacity of the market to deliver a nationwide, technology-enabled EICR service aligned with the above requirements.

2.

Understand the range of proprietary and innovative solutions currently available, particularly those capable of providing enhanced insight, automation and risk management without compromising compliance; and 3.

Inform the eventual procurement strategy, service model, performance regime and social-value expectations (including alignment with ISO-aligned Quality and Environmental Management Systems and demonstrable contribution to NHS sustainability goals).

4.

Determine if and whether there are technological advancements in the market that can meet this requirement thus overcoming historical issues across the industry where limitations and/or the inability to shut down systems whilst conducting electrical compliance testing, commonly prevents true 100% testing.

Participation in this PME exercise will not preclude suppliers from participating in any future procurement, nor does it constitute a call for competition or a commitment by the Authority to award any contract.

Responses will be used solely to refine the Authority’s approach and ensure that any future procurement is appropriately scoped, outcome-focused and reflective of current and emerging technological capabilities.
