Summary of the contracting process

Tamworth Borough Council procured quantity surveying and construction cost management services for its castle projects, delivered in Tamworth, England. The requirement covers professional services for managing project costs and reporting, assessing interim valuations and payments, controlling changes, managing risk and contingency, handling claims, supporting contract administration, maintaining audit and governance arrangements, and preparing final accounts. This is a construction, engineering and inspection consultancy opportunity rather than physical construction work. The named supplier is Pulse Associates T/A Pulse Consult, an SME based in Nottingham. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and concerns services for the council’s capital or property projects in the Tamworth area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 July 2026 to Pulse Associates T/A Pulse Consult. The award value is £44,290. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender submission deadline was 21 April 2026. The council used a selective procedure and awarded the requirement as a call-off from the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework, rather than running an open competition. The contract is for services and the award covers the full quantity surveying requirement described. Tamworth Borough Council is the buying organisation. The published tender title identifies the requirement as Quantity Surveyor for Castle Projects, reference QQ25/011.

This award indicates demand for a compact, specialist quantity surveying service supporting heritage or castle-related construction projects. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in cost management and reporting, interim valuations and payment assessment, change control, risk and contingency management, claims management, contract administration support, audit and governance, and final account preparation. Experience of working with public-sector clients and construction contracts would be commercially relevant, particularly where robust records, transparent reporting and defensible cost decisions are required. The procurement route also shows the importance of access to, and compliance with, the Procure Partnerships Professional Services Framework. An SME-scale consultancy with the capacity to cover the full service would fit the profile demonstrated by this award.
