Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured commercial property agency services on behalf of Chichester District Council. The requirement covers advice and support for negotiating Heads of Terms for commercial property transactions, together with advice on subsidy control considerations. This is a professional property advisory service rather than construction, property maintenance or routine facilities management. The work is delivered in Chichester, supporting the council’s commercial property activity. The procurement falls within real estate agency services provided on a fee or contract basis. It is relevant to firms providing commercial property agency and transaction advice, particularly those able to combine negotiation expertise with an understanding of public-sector subsidy control obligations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a limited competitive quotation procedure below the public procurement threshold. The response deadline was 18 June 2026 at 2pm, and the award was made on 19 June 2026. Lambert Smith Hampton Group Ltd was selected for a contract valued at £28,125 including the stated procurement value. The contract period runs from 7 July 2026 to 11 December 2026. The award was based on the competitive quotation process. This was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The awarded supplier is recorded as active, confirming that the contracting outcome has been established for the stated commercial property agency services.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates a requirement for specialist commercial property agency support linked to public-sector property transactions. A credible competitor would need practical experience negotiating Heads of Terms, advising on commercial property matters and explaining the subsidy control implications of proposed arrangements. The work calls for advisers who can turn property and financial considerations into clear, defensible advice for a council, while managing negotiations with external parties. Firms with an established commercial property team, relevant transaction experience and the capacity to provide joined-up agency and subsidy control advice would be better placed to compete when a similar requirement returns. The buyer’s use of a competitive quotation route also indicates a relatively focused, specialist service requirement.
