Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Police procured an estates professional rating service for its property portfolio. The appointed supplier assesses, submits, negotiates and settles rating appeals, including Compiled List Appeals, with the aim of reducing the rateable value of the Force’s estate. This is a specialist real-estate advisory service rather than construction or property management. The work is delivered for Northumbria Police’s estate in Newcastle upon Tyne and concerns the Force’s wider property portfolio. Businesses relevant to this requirement include property rating advisers, surveying practices and real-estate consultancies with experience of challenging rateable values and handling appeals for public-sector or other sizeable property owners. The procurement is categorised as services and uses the real-estate services classification CPV 70100000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Northumbria Police used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 28 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Avison Young on 11 August 2026 for £170,000, with a contract period from 11 August 2026 to 31 March 2031. The award is active. The contract covers the full rating service requirement for the Force’s property portfolio, including Compiled List Appeals and associated negotiation and settlement. The published outcome identifies Avison Young as the selected supplier. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lots or additional award criteria are identified.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Northumbria Police’s demand for specialist property rating expertise. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to assess rateable values, prepare and submit rating appeals, conduct negotiations with the relevant authorities and settle appeals on behalf of a public-sector property owner. Experience across a substantial and varied estate would be important, as would the capacity to manage multiple properties and maintain the work through the full appeal process. Firms should be able to demonstrate practical knowledge of Compiled List Appeals, strong evidence-based valuation advice and effective negotiation skills. The route used here also shows that framework access can be important when this buyer sources similar specialist services.
