Inspection Tenders and Contracts

Search live inspection tenders on Stotles, or move earlier: read a buyer estates or compliance strategy for signs of a statutory inspection or testing contract before it opens.

This page covers statutory and compliance inspections plus the specific trades buyers retender on their own line: electrical inspection and PAT testing, building inspection, lift inspection (LOLER), vehicle inspection, playground inspection, asbestos surveys, legionella risk assessments and water hygiene testing. General maintenance or facilities contracts that mention an inspection duty in passing are not the focus here.

The most common codes are 71630000 (Technical inspection and testing services), 71315400 (Building-inspection services) and 50870000 (Repair and maintenance services of playground equipment). Buyers often combine several of these under one compliance or servicing contract.

Councils, housing associations, NHS trusts, academy trusts and transport operators run the bulk of inspection tenders, typically for statutory compliance inspections, electrical testing, lift or vehicle inspections, or playground safety checks across a property or asset portfolio.

Most statutory compliance and servicing frameworks run two to four years, with a one-year extension common on playground and lift inspection contracts. Single-visit inspection, testing or survey work can run a few weeks or months.
