Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council commissioned stock condition surveys at 50 council sites in Northumberland, England. The work is surveying services: assessing the condition of the council’s property stock. The procurement was managed by the council, which is also the buyer. The requirement was for a defined set of surveys across those 50 sites, rather than a general architectural or engineering commission. The work falls within architectural, engineering and surveying services (CPV 71250000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fairhurst Group LLP. The award was made on 15 June 2026 for £122,022.70. The contract runs from 16 June to 24 August 2026. The council used a direct award as a call-off from the NEPO212 Support Services for Development of the Built Environment framework, Lot 8 for civil and structural services. The original tender deadline was 15 June 2026 at noon. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process information.

This award shows a recurring local authority requirement for condition surveys across a multi-site property portfolio. Suppliers competing for comparable work should be able to survey public-sector buildings systematically, assess and report on stock condition, and organise delivery across numerous sites within a short programme. The selected supplier was appointed through an established framework for built-environment support, specifically its civil and structural services lot, so relevant framework access and experience delivering work under such arrangements would strengthen a competitor’s position. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller surveying practice may be credible if it can demonstrate the technical capacity and delivery coordination needed to cover a council-wide portfolio. The work is specifically stock condition surveying for Northumberland County Council.
