Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council appointed a quantity surveying service to support its housing delivery programme. The work is quantity surveying for housing projects, with the council as the buyer. The stated delivery locations include the United Kingdom and a broad range of other locations, so the contract’s delivery footprint is not confined to a named town or site. The requirement is a professional service rather than goods or construction works. Suppliers specialising in cost and commercial management for housing development are the closest fit; the stated scope does not break the service down into specific tasks such as cost planning, tendering or contract administration.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to McDaid Quantity Surveying. Central Bedfordshire Council used a restricted procedure, a selective route in which participation is limited to selected suppliers. The award was made on 28 September 2026, for £4,110. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is presented as one service, with no separate lots described. The recorded suitability assessment says the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described.

For quantity surveying firms, this award provides a clear example of Central Bedfordshire Council procuring specialist commercial support for housing delivery. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate quantity surveying expertise relevant to housing projects and the ability to support the council’s delivery programme over a sustained period. The selected supplier’s appointment shows that a dedicated quantity surveying provider was considered suitable for this service. The council recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that firms in those categories should weigh that assessment when considering a comparable requirement. The procurement used a restricted route, so suppliers should be prepared to meet selection requirements before competing.
