Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Spelthorne Borough Council commissioned legal services concerning a professional negligence claim against a surveyor. The requirement was for legal advice and associated support in relation to that claim, rather than surveying, construction or general administrative services. The buyer is Spelthorne Borough Council, based at the Council Offices in Knowle Green, Staines-upon-Thames, England. The work was categorised as legal services (CPV 79100000), with delivery arrangements covering the United Kingdom and potentially international locations. This was a service requirement identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to law firms with experience advising public bodies on professional negligence disputes and related claims against surveying professionals.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 16 June 2026. Spelthorne Borough Council awarded the contract to Bevan Brittan LLP on 8 September 2026 for £9,225. The contract period runs from 17 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. The stated requirement was legal advice for a professional negligence claim against a surveyor. The procurement was evaluated as a legal services requirement, with the award made through the open procedure. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, and the published outcome records one supplier and one award.

This award indicates demand from Spelthorne Borough Council for specialist legal advice on professional negligence claims involving surveying professionals. A credible competitor for similar work would need solicitors able to analyse professional negligence allegations, assess evidence and causation, advise on liability and quantum, and manage dispute strategy through the relevant stages of a claim. Experience acting for local authorities or other public-sector clients would help, particularly where council governance, public money and external professional appointments are involved. The work is suitable for an SME law firm with a focused disputes or professional negligence practice, provided it can offer appropriately qualified lawyers, clear advice, proportionate case management and the capacity to handle a defined claim within a short service period.
