Summary of the contracting process

Sefton Council appointed a professional services supplier to provide asset management consultancy advice for its Asset Disposal Programme. The programme covers multiple sites and properties whose sales are intended to fund the council’s Framework for Change agenda. The requirement is consultancy support connected with the management and disposal of public-sector assets, within the broader field of construction and premises professional services. The work is delivered in England, for Sefton Council, whose address is in Bootle. This is a services contract rather than a works or goods supply. The procurement was classified under CPV 71310000, covering consultative engineering and construction services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although it was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award from Lot 1 of Pagabo’s National Framework for Professional Services in Construction and Premises 2024. The tender deadline was 14 January 2026 at 23:59, and the contract was awarded on 14 January 2026. Atkins Realis PPS Ltd was selected as supplier for £175,516 including VAT at 20% over the contract life, including extensions. The stated annual cost is £87,758 including VAT. The contract period runs from 15 January 2026 to 14 January 2027. The procurement used the direct award method, with the framework route determining the supplier selection. The recorded evaluation basis is the direct award process rather than a separately stated competitive tender assessment.

This award indicates demand from Sefton Council for specialist asset management advice supporting the disposal of multiple public-sector sites and properties. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would have demonstrable experience advising public bodies on asset disposal programmes, property and premises strategy, valuation or transaction preparation, and the practical management of sales across a portfolio. Credibility would also depend on understanding how asset disposals can support wider organisational change programmes, together with the ability to provide clear commercial, technical and construction-related advice. Firms operating within professional services frameworks for construction and premises, including capable SMEs, would be aligned with the route used here. Relevant experience should show delivery of structured advice across several assets rather than a single property transaction.
