Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured professional structural engineering and architectural services for the ongoing monitoring and maintenance of its housing revenue account assets. The work is intended to help ensure the Council’s housing stock remains safe for residents, employees and members of the public. It covers architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, delivered in Milton Keynes. The requirement is a single service package rather than separate lots. The Council is the public-sector buyer, and the appointed supplier is Tetra Tech Consulting Limited, previously known as RPS Consulting Services Limited. This is a housing asset management and building safety opportunity for firms able to combine structural engineering, architectural expertise, inspection capability and practical maintenance support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. The tender deadline was 22 July 2025 at noon, with enquiries closing on 11 July 2025 and the award period ending on 2 September 2025. One valid bid was received. The award was made on 24 September 2025 to Tetra Tech Consulting Limited, previously known as RPS Consulting Services Limited, at £408,285.87 excluding VAT (£489,943.04 including VAT). The contract was signed on 18 February 2026. Its recorded period is 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027, with a possible one-year extension to 28 February 2028. A proposed amendment would move the start to 1 September 2026, with the same scope and value, because Council mobilisation resources were unavailable. Price formed the award criterion, alongside economic and technical selection requirements.

This award indicates established demand from Milton Keynes City Council for specialist support across housing asset monitoring and maintenance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable structural engineering and architectural capability, supported by construction and inspection experience relevant to occupied housing stock and public safety. The service model also requires disciplined operational delivery: following site and dwelling access procedures, maintaining an accurate works tracker, producing scoping documents within five working days or the agreed period, and submitting supporting visit records within seven days of completing visits. Suppliers should therefore be able to coordinate site activity, manage evidence and reporting, and work to measurable service standards. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the successful supplier was a large organisation.
