Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council bought fixed-asset valuation services to support its statutory financial reporting and the first year of a five-year rolling valuation programme. The work covers operational land and buildings, Housing Revenue Account properties, insurance reinstatement, investment and surplus properties, and assets held for sale. It also includes valuations prompted by material changes, annual indexation support, valuation advice, written reports and supporting evidence, plus assistance with audit of the Council’s Statement of Accounts. Delivery is for the Council in Northumberland, in the North East of England. This is a professional property valuation and asset advice service, rather than a purchase of property or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bruton Knowles. The award date was 30 September 2026, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The awarded value is £70,255. The Council used a selective procedure, making a direct award through the ESPO 2700_26 Estates Management Professional Services framework, Lot 1 for fixed-asset valuation services. The original tender deadline was 29 September 2026 at 12 noon. The scope spans several asset types and valuation purposes under one service requirement; the published award information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or further supplier eligibility conditions. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

For firms seeking comparable future work with Northumberland County Council, this award shows demand for a broad, integrated property valuation service supporting local-authority accounts. A credible competitor would need to value operational and housing assets as well as investment, surplus and sale-bound properties, including insurance reinstatement valuations. The service also calls for responsive valuations when circumstances materially change, annual indexation and advisory input, with robust reports and evidence that can withstand audit scrutiny. The Council used a direct call-off from an estates-management professional services framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to deliver the full range of valuation work through that route would matter. The awarded supplier was an SME, and the Council identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs.
