Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton is planning construction consultancy and construction management services for the redevelopment of 71–75 Westmead Road, Carshalton, Sutton. The scope is an employer’s agent service together with clerk of works services. The employer’s agent would support the council in managing and overseeing the development, while the clerk of works function would provide site-based inspection and quality oversight. The procurement is therefore relevant to firms specialising in employer’s agent, construction project management, clerk of works, construction consultancy or related development oversight services. Delivery is connected to the Westmead Road development in Carshalton, within the London Borough of Sutton. The procurement is being led and funded by the London Borough of Sutton.

This process is at the planning stage: the council has stated an intention to procure and has not issued an invitation to tender. The expected route is a direct award through the National Framework Partnership, rather than an open competition. The planning record describes the intended appointment of CPC Project Services as the council’s employer’s agent. The estimated contract value is £131,040 including the stated currency of GBP. An early supplier engagement period is expected to end on 5 August 2026. That date is an engagement milestone, not a tender submission deadline. The procurement is classified primarily as construction consultancy services, with construction management services as an additional category. The stated suitability assessment is that it is not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement will suit a specialist construction consultancy or project management provider able to act as an employer’s agent on a redevelopment scheme and provide clerk of works capability. Relevant strengths are likely to include coordinating the client’s interests, overseeing construction delivery, monitoring workmanship and compliance on site, and reporting clearly to the council. Firms with experienced employer’s agents, construction managers, site inspectors and quality assurance personnel would be the closest fit. The council’s stated assessment that the work is unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that it is intended for a larger or more established provider with the necessary professional capacity and organisational resilience. Suppliers should use the engagement stage to understand the development requirements and prepare for the planned direct-award route rather than treating this as an open bidding opportunity.
