Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council is planning a procurement process for 'Housing Professional Services', which encompasses project management, quantity surveying, and architectural design services. The tender is valued at approximately £4.8 million and falls under the services category, specifically in real estate and quantity surveying services. It is set to take place in the UKF14 region of the United Kingdom, with the contract period anticipated to begin on 24 August 2026 and conclude by 26 August 2030. Currently, the process is in the planning stage, with an open procedure procurement method being used. A future notice is expected by 3 August 2026, presenting opportunities for businesses to stay informed by registering on the East Mids Tender Portal.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses in project management, quantity surveying, and architectural design services to expand their portfolios and establish a public sector presence. Given the suitability criteria, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this particularly relevant. Firms offering comprehensive real estate and construction-related services are well-placed to compete and contribute to the housing sector development in Nottingham. Engaging in this procurement could lead to future collaborations with Nottingham City Council, helping businesses diversify and grow.
