Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covers surveying and consultancy services for Vivid Homes’ ongoing fire risk appraisal of external walls (FRAEW) works. The requirement falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000), with surveying and technical consultancy central to the work. Services are delivered in the South East of England. Prosper is the contracting buyer and managed the procurement for the contracting body. The opportunity is relevant to surveying practices, building consultancy firms, façade and external-wall specialists, and engineering or inspection providers that support FRAEW programmes. It concerns professional services rather than construction works or the physical supply of materials, and is focused on consultancy connected with ongoing external-wall safety and remediation activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award under the national Design & Consultancy Services Framework, reference DN679373. The response deadline was 19 August 2026 at 23:59. The award was made on 20 August 2026 to Bennington Green Limited, an SME, for £344,328.95 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2028. There is one recorded award and supplier. This was a framework call-off rather than an open competition, so access was through the existing framework route. The requirement was identified as a services contract and marked as suitable for SMEs. No separate lots are recorded.

For competitors, this award is evidence that Prosper and the Vivid Homes requirement includes substantial, multi-year demand for FRAEW-related surveying and consultancy services. A credible future supplier would need the technical capability to assess external-wall risks, support ongoing fire-safety appraisal and remediation work, and provide dependable professional consultancy across the South East. Firms with relevant surveying, façade, building safety, engineering or inspection expertise are the closest fit. The selected supplier is an SME, and the requirement was marked as SME-suitable, indicating that delivery scale can be compatible with a focused specialist practice rather than only a large contractor. Experience of working through a national design and consultancy framework would also be commercially relevant, since that was the route used for this award.
