AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
The UK government (via Procurement Assist) is extending an existing supplier framework for electricity meter removal and installation services. If you're approved, you can provide these services to NHS Trusts, councils, housing associations, emergency services, schools, and charities across the UK for up to 5 years (until May 2029).
Requirements
- Must be able to remove electricity meters from buildings
- Must be able to install electricity meters to buildings
- Must be registered to operate as a contracting organisation in the United Kingdom
- Must comply with UK electricity and building regulations
- No specific certifications or qualifications mentioned in this notice — check the full tender documents for NICEIC, DNO (Distribution Network Operator) accreditation, or health & safety requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Remove existing electricity meters from customer premises
- Install new electricity meters at customer premises
- Provide services on-demand to multiple public sector organisations (NHS, councils, housing providers, police, fire, schools, charities) across the entire UK
- Maintain service availability across the 60-month (5-year) contract period until 31 May 2029
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a DPS (Dynamic Purchasing System) — not a single contract. Once approved, you go on a pre-approved supplier list and customers order from you directly. You're not bidding against other suppliers per job; you compete by being fast, reliable, and competitive on price when clients call.
- 2This is an amendment notice extending an existing framework. The original tender was published in 2021 (reference 2021/S 000-011333). You cannot bid now unless you were already on the original DPS — check if you need to apply to join the framework or if this is just a timeline extension.
- 3The contract covers a very broad client base (NHS, councils, housing, emergency services, education, charities). Expect high volume and varied locations across the UK — you must be able to service all regions.
- 4Look for the full tender documents online (search the reference number) — this notice alone doesn't specify insurance requirements, technical standards, response times, pricing, or how to bid. The devil is in the detail.
- 5Check whether your company needs DNO approval or NICEIC accreditation — electricity work is heavily regulated and you likely can't bid without the right credentials.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not yet on the original DPS, contact Procurement Assist immediately to find out if you can still apply or if this extension is closed to new suppliers. This is a live framework, so joining early means 5 years of potential work.
- Consider regional partnerships or subcontracting to cover the whole of the UK if you're based in one area — large clients like NHS Trusts and councils will want single-source solutions. You could partner with local meter engineers to expand your reach.
- Price competitively but build in margin for travel time and callout costs — work will be geographically scattered across the UK. Calculate your cost per meter removal/installation carefully, including van costs, labour, and compliance time.
