Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured building surveying services for safety surveys of its high-rise blocks. The requirement covers both visual and intrusive surveys, intended to assess the condition and safety of the Council’s high-rise housing stock. The work is delivered in Leeds, including the LS1 1UR area, within Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a services opportunity rather than a construction or supply contract. The relevant classification is building surveying services (CPV 71315300). The Council is the buying organisation and the requirement concerns its own high-rise blocks. Businesses operating in building surveying, structural inspection or building safety assessment may find the scope relevant where they can undertake both non-invasive visual inspections and intrusive investigations in occupied or operational high-rise buildings.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a restricted procedure above threshold. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 12:00. Leeds City Council awarded the contract to Firntec Ltd on 21 August 2026. The awarded value is £476,444.80. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 18 August 2027. The requirement was treated as a single service scope, with no separate lots identified. Evaluation was carried out through the restricted procedure, which limits the tendering stage to selected suppliers. The procurement was classified as a service contract and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the contract period covers delivery of the high-rise building safety survey services during the stated term.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Leeds City Council for specialist building safety surveying across high-rise blocks. A credible future competitor would need to deliver both visual and intrusive surveys, understand the inspection of high-rise buildings, and provide building surveying services at the scale required for a Council-wide block portfolio. The work calls for teams able to plan investigations, carry out intrusive site activity safely, record findings consistently and produce clear assessments for a public-sector client. SMEs were considered suitable, so a smaller specialist surveying business may be well placed to compete, either independently or through a delivery partnership that provides the necessary technical capacity. Relevant experience in high-rise building inspection and safety assessment would support credibility when this buyer’s requirement returns to market.
