Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council is undertaking a procurement process for the "Housing Professional Services" project, currently in the planning stage. This initiative is set to deliver services in categories such as real estate, quantity surveying, and other related professional services. The procurement, using an open procedure, is supported by a framework agreement and targets service delivery within the UKF14 region, starting from 2nd February 2026 to 1st February 2030. The council foresees issuing a future procurement notice by 26th January 2026. With a budget of £4,800,000 (gross), this substantial contract offers significant opportunities for engagement and underscores a commitment to advancing local infrastructure and services. The planned contract period indicates long-term collaboration prospects, beneficial for stable business growth.

This tender represents an attractive opportunity for businesses specialising in construction design and management, project management, quantity surveying, energy, and environmental services. Given its suitability for SMEs and VCSEs, smaller enterprises and voluntary organisations stand to gain a foothold in a lucrative public sector partnership. In particular, businesses that can offer innovative solutions or specialised expertise within the professional services space will find this a valuable opening to enhance their portfolios and market presence. The open procedure indicates transparent competition, and proactive engagement with the council's e-tendering platform will be essential for interested parties aiming to leverage this sizeable market opportunity. Proper planning to meet the selection criteria and deadlines will greatly benefit potential bidders.
