Proactive compliance to keep public buildings safe and operational

Electrical safety is not optional. For public sector organisations, regular inspection and testing of fixed wire systems is essential to protect building users, maintain compliance and reduce operational risk. This Lot provides a clear, compliant route to procure electrical testing and associated remedial works, helping you maintain safe, legally compliant environments across your estate.

Delivered through Fusion21’s Heating, Renewables and Electricals Framework, this Lot supports structured, efficient management of electrical safety obligations across non-domestic and mixed portfolios.

What are the required accreditations?

Suppliers appointed to this Lot are required to hold the following organisational accreditations or professional memberships:

• Registered on the Data Protection Public Register (ICO)
• Membership of a competent person scheme for installation of fixed low or extra-low voltage electrical installations in dwellings, such as NICEIC or NAPIT

These requirements ensure organisations delivering works are properly accredited and operate in line with current electrical safety standards.

Mandatory Criteria - Personnel

Suppliers must ensure that operatives hold the following mandatory qualifications or professional training:

• Cat A Asbestos Awareness (UKATA or equivalent) within the last 2 years
• Instructed Person (as defined in BS7671:2018)
• Skilled Person (as defined in BS7671:2018)
• C&G 2382 and C&G 2391, or recognised industry equivalent

These criteria provide assurance that inspection, testing and remedial works are undertaken safely and competently in accordance with BS7671 and associated guidance.

A Structured Approach to Planned Testing Programmes

Many public sector estates operate on cyclical inspection programmes. This Lot supports both large-scale portfolio testing and individual site requirements.

Members can use the framework to:

• Develop multi-year EICR programmes
• Align PAT testing with asset management cycles
• Address high-risk or priority buildings first
• Bundle remedial works with ongoing maintenance contracts
• Access technical advice linked to inspection outcomes

This approach enables better budgeting, forward planning and consistent compliance management across estates.
