Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured an Employers’ Agent Package for Redditch. The requirement is for professional architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, supporting the council’s construction and property activity. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and relates to work delivered in Redditch, with the awarded service also covering locations across England. The package was arranged as one lot and attracted two appointed suppliers. It is therefore relevant to firms providing employers’ agent, construction consultancy, engineering, architectural or inspection services, particularly those able to support a public-sector construction client and operate across the required delivery area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 11 July 2025 at 12:00. The estimated lot value was £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. GODWIN POWELL LTD was awarded one contract worth £20,725 excluding VAT (£24,870 including VAT), signed on 7 April 2026, running from 8 April 2026 to 7 April 2028. Summers-Inman Construction and Property Consultants LLP was awarded a separate contract worth £14,250 excluding VAT (£17,100 including VAT), signed on 9 April 2026, running from 10 April 2026 to 8 April 2028. The lot allows a one-year renewal. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%.

This award demonstrates demand from Redditch Borough Council for external employers’ agent and related construction consultancy support. Firms well placed for a future requirement would be able to deliver architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services in a public-sector setting. The award route was an open competition, so suppliers should be prepared to compete against established consultancies on both service quality and price. The appointed businesses include an SME construction and property consultancy and an SME consultancy, showing that the requirement is accessible to specialist firms as well as larger practices. Relevant capability is the ability to provide coordinated professional advice for council construction and property work, with sufficient capacity to serve Redditch and, where required, wider English locations.
