Housing Regulator commitment
Hackney Council is addressing a backlog of electrical inspections to meet a commitment to the Housing Regulator.
Hackney Council is working to recover its domestic electrical testing and inspections programme, having awarded a £2.2 million contract to Supplier A in May 2026. The Hackney Procurement Board approved this contract, which aims to clear approximately 15,000 outstanding electrical inspections within two years.
This initiative is a direct response to a commitment made by Hackney Council to the Housing Regulator to clear the backlog of electrical inspections. The contract is for an initial year with an option to extend for a further year, supporting the recovery of the programme over the next two years.
