Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council commissioned periodic valuations of its operational and non-operational land and buildings, including investment properties. The work provides fair value and existing use value assessments for the Council’s financial reporting, capital strategy decisions and asset management. It supports preparation of the Council’s Statement of Accounts and compliance with local authority accounting requirements. This is a property valuation service, rather than a purchase of buildings or construction work, delivered for the Council’s asset portfolio in Wolverhampton, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wilks Head and Eve LLP. The Council made the award on 16 October 2026. The award value is £125,000, with a contract period from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2031. The requirement was procured by direct award. The published procurement information does not state a separate evaluation basis or any lots. The original submission deadline was 16 October 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For property valuation firms, this award demonstrates demand from Wolverhampton City Council for a multi-year programme covering a significant and varied public-sector property portfolio, including operational and non-operational land and buildings and investment properties. A credible competitor would need to deliver periodic valuations that establish fair value and existing use value, and provide outputs suitable for the Council’s accounts, capital strategy and asset management. Experience applying local authority accounting requirements and relevant accounting standards is directly pertinent. The work was awarded through a direct award, so this outcome also shows the buyer’s chosen route for this requirement; it does not establish that the same route will be used for future work. The recorded award went to a large firm, while the opportunity was also identified as suitable for SMEs.
