Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured mechanical and electrical (M&E) consultancy for the repair programme at Newstead Abbey. The requirement supports repair works at the historic property, with consultancy focused on the building’s mechanical and electrical aspects. The procurement is categorised as construction work, although the specific consultancy services are described only at a high level. Delivery is in England, at Newstead Abbey. This is a council-led requirement relating to a site-specific repair programme, rather than a general consultancy commission. The selected supplier was Pick Everard, an SME. The work is relevant to consultancies able to advise on M&E requirements within building repair projects, particularly those able to work with a public-sector client on a heritage property.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open procedure described as competitive quotation. Pick Everard was selected on 30 September 2026 for £37,654. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. Bids were due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The estimated tender value and awarded value are both £37,654. No lots are set out; the award is for the M&E consultant requirement as a whole. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available outcome records the supplier and award value, but does not state a detailed evaluation breakdown or scoring criteria.

For firms that did not win, this award demonstrates Nottingham City Council’s demand for M&E consultancy to support a repair programme at Newstead Abbey. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show relevant mechanical and electrical consultancy capability for building repairs, and the ability to work effectively with a council on a defined, site-specific programme. Experience of advising on historic buildings would be commercially relevant to this particular setting, although no formal heritage accreditation or technical qualification is stated as a requirement. The selected firm is an SME, and the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this scale of consultancy can be within reach of smaller providers as well as larger practices.
