This is a £15 million, 10-year contract requiring a large established electrical contractor with national capacity, certified teams, advanced management systems, and the financial stability to deliver across 8,500 properties. Most small sole traders and local electricians will be outbid by regional or national contractors, and lack the resources for ongoing compliance management.
