Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council has completed a procurement process for hiring independent claims expert consultancy services, as outlined in the contract titled "Claims Expert Appointment." The awarded contract, conducted under a 'limited' procurement method due to being below the threshold for standard competition, has been granted to Greyfriars Project Management Limited. The services fall under the industry category of 'services,' specifically related to cost calculation and monitoring. The procurement process, which was part of a development programme, is based in the UK region of East Suffolk, and the contract commenced on 25th April 2025, running until 31st January 2026. This initiative represents a strategic partnership focused on the detailed assessment of loss and expense claims linked to an ongoing project.

This tender presents growth opportunities for SMEs engaged in providing consultancy and expert advisory services, particularly in financial assessment and claims management. Companies with experience in construction claims, cost monitoring, or financial consultancy related to project management could find such contracts rewarding. Given the limited competition method chosen by the East Suffolk Council, which is a public authority at the sub-central government level, smaller businesses with specialised expertise have a viable chance to secure similar contracts in future listings. Engaging in such tenders not only provides business growth through governmental partnerships but also enhances market visibility and reputation in the public sector.
