Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torus Group procured employer’s agent services for the new development scheme at Sussex Grove and Allanson Street in St Helens. The requirement is a construction consultancy service, covering the employer’s agent role in connection with the development. Delivery is in St Helens, in the North West of England. This is a professional services opportunity for a consultancy able to represent and advise the client throughout a substantial development programme, rather than a contract for construction works, materials or general facilities management. The named buyer is Torus Group, a housing and development organisation based in St Helens. The service is classified under CPV 71530000, construction consultancy services. The requirement relates to one development scheme and one service scope.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Torus Group awarded the contract to Wilkinson Cowan Partnership Ltd on 16 January 2026. The awarded value is £70,000. The contract runs from 23 January 2026 to 22 January 2030. The tender submission deadline was 9 January 2026. The procurement used a tender process, with the requirement treated as a services contract. The selected supplier is identified as a large organisation. The award is active and covers the employer’s agent services for Sussex Grove and Allanson Street. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £70,000. The four-year contract period indicates an ongoing advisory role linked to the development scheme rather than a short, standalone consultancy assignment.

This award shows that Torus Group uses an external construction consultancy to provide employer’s agent services for a named housing or development scheme in St Helens. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a strong employer’s agent function, with the technical and commercial ability to advise a client through the delivery of a development programme. Relevant capability is likely to include coordinating project stakeholders, monitoring progress and performance, managing cost and risk information, and providing clear client-side reporting. The successful supplier was a large organisation, while the procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses targeting similar work with Torus Group should therefore be able to demonstrate substantial organisational capacity, construction consultancy experience and the resources to support a sustained client-side role.
