Summary of the contracting process

Historic England, a public authority within the central government of the United Kingdom, recently completed the procurement process for a project titled "Fort Cumberland Urgent Electrical Repairs - QS Services Part 2". This contract pertains to quantity surveying services needed for emergency electrical repairs at Fort Cumberland. The procurement method utilised was a direct award due to an increase of more than 50% in the predicted cost, necessitating the retention of the existing quality surveyor for consistency. The contract became active on 7th July 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2025. The work will be conducted across several regions in the UK, including areas in the UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, within the services category.

This tender provides a considerable opportunity for SMEs operating within the quantity surveying sector, especially those with experience in handling urgent and specialised government infrastructure projects. Huntley Cartwright, an SME specialising in quantity surveying, was awarded the contract. Such projects foster business growth by allowing firms to demonstrate their expertise in high-priority public sector projects, which can lead to further opportunities within the government or similar institutions. This procurement stage indicates a complete cycle, demonstrating clear potential for smaller firms committed to efficient and effective service delivery.
