Summary of the contracting process

Spelthorne Borough Council procured technical vendor due diligence surveying services for a number of assets in its investment portfolio. The work falls within building surveying and is intended to assess assets for the Council as portfolio investments. Delivery is associated with the Council Offices at Knowle Green, Staines-upon-Thames, and the procurement records coverage across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services requirement rather than construction or supply of physical goods. The Council is the buying organisation. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so relevant independent surveying practices and larger property or professional-services firms could be potential competitors for similar future requirements.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Quotations were due by 17 July 2026 at 13:00. The contract was awarded to Knight Frank LLP on 23 July 2026 for £78,260. The contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and covers the same technical due diligence survey requirement for the Council’s investment portfolio assets. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the quotation process, with participation aimed at suitably qualified and experienced suppliers. The award provides a clear indication of the Council’s buying route, the professional service required and the scale of a single engagement, without combining it with any other procurement or award.

This outcome is relevant to building surveying practices, property consultancies and multidisciplinary professional-services firms with demonstrable experience in technical vendor due diligence. Credible suppliers would need to assess a range of investment-portfolio assets, identify material technical issues and risks, and produce clear, commercially useful findings for a public-sector investor. The requirement favours organisations able to combine surveying expertise with property-investment awareness, robust report writing and the capacity to manage several assets within one commission. Firms targeting comparable work should be able to evidence suitably qualified staff, relevant experience on acquisition or portfolio due diligence, consistent quality assurance and the ability to work across the stated geographical coverage. SMEs were considered suitable, so a focused specialist practice could compete alongside larger property advisers where it can demonstrate sufficient capability and delivery capacity.
