Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk District Council commissioned a built-facility assessment and strategy, covering building surveying and inspections alongside engineering advice. The work is intended to assess the council’s facilities and inform its strategy for them. Delivery is in the East of England. The procurement is categorised as building-inspection and surveying services, with related advisory work. The buyer is East Suffolk District Council.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Knight Kavanagh and Page Ltd. The award was made on 23 September 2026, for £40,168, with a contract period from 23 September to 18 December 2026. The procurement used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s stated estimated value was £33,473. The available evaluation information does not set out scoring criteria, so the basis used to select the supplier cannot be described further. The requirement was presented as a single procurement, rather than divided into separately identified lots.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for East Suffolk District Council, this award demonstrates demand for built-facility assessment and strategy, combining building surveying, inspection and engineering advice. A credible competitor would need to bring the ability to assess public facilities and turn findings into practical strategic advice. The council has used a framework call-off route, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to compete through an appropriate framework. The selected provider, Knight Kavanagh and Page Ltd, is recorded as an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This indicates that smaller suppliers and social enterprises were within the intended supplier market, while capability across the assessment and advisory scope would be central to competing.
