Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon has completed a procurement process titled "Multi-disciplinary Consultants as Expert Witnesses," with a focus on real estate services. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. The award was made to HQH Group, an SME based in Birmingham, on 21st May 2025. The contract period begins on 2nd July 2025 and runs until 30th September 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in real estate, to engage with public sector work. Smaller firms, such as SMEs, may find this process beneficial due to the preference for direct award methods that do not require competitive tendering. Companies with similar service offerings can look to capitalise on such opportunities in supporting roles or by preparing for future procurements with this or similar authorities. The contract reflects the scope for diversifying service portfolios and expanding client bases within the public sector domain.
