Summary of the contracting process

Harlow Council procured building surveying and construction consultancy services to support investment in its housing stock and fulfil its landlord obligations. The work covers planned capital projects across Harlow, including site visits, condition reports, feasibility studies and measured surveys. The appointed consultant is also expected to prepare scopes of work, drawings and performance specifications, recommend specialist investigations and identify requirements for specialist design, statutory approvals and third-party agreements. The core service is mainly intended to cover RIBA stages 1 to 4, with some projects potentially requiring further services. This is a professional services opportunity for building surveyors and construction consultants with experience in housing asset investment, project development and technical documentation. The procurement is classified under architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, including building consultancy.

The procurement reached completion and an active award was made to Airey Miller Ltd. The procedure was a restricted procedure using a selective procurement method, with bids evaluated on price. Thirteen bids were recorded for the requirement. The overall estimated procurement value was £8,000,000 including the stated procurement scope, while the awarded contract value was £316,125. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is active. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract associated with it are active. Harlow Council is the buyer. The contracting process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. A future notice date of 17 February 2025 was recorded during the procurement process.

This award demonstrates demand from Harlow Council for specialist building surveying support linked to housing stock investment and landlord responsibilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to undertake building condition inspections and measured surveys, turn findings into feasibility reports and workable scopes of works, and prepare drawings and performance specifications. It would also need to coordinate specialist investigations, specialist design requirements, statutory approvals and third-party agreements. Experience delivering projects through the early RIBA design stages, particularly stages 1 to 4, would be directly relevant. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only by a large multidisciplinary organisation. Price was the stated basis for evaluation.
