Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd, a sub-central government public authority based in Portsmouth, has completed the procurement process for appointing Professional Quantity Surveyors (PQS) under an open procedure. This process led to the creation of a framework agreement aiming to appoint three surveyors to provide services related to development projects. The procurement falls under the 'services' category, primarily focusing on quantity surveying, with the contract being valued grossly at £3,000,000. The bids were finalized with an award status pending as of January 15, 2026, with the standstill period ending on January 27, 2026. The contract period is set to begin on February 2, 2026, and could be extended until January 31, 2031.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth to both large enterprises and SMEs well-versed in providing comprehensive cost advice and developing cost models for construction projects. Companies with expertise in quantity surveying and those capable of delivering high-quality services with competitive pricing are particularly suited to benefit from this framework. The procurement process invited robust competition, evidenced by the 23 final stage bids, demonstrating an open opportunity for businesses of varying scales. The framework agreement allows for both competition reopening and closed competition, paving the way for dynamic collaboration with VIVID Housing over several years.
