Summary of the contracting process

Believe Housing Limited procured property valuation services to support its Assets and Development Teams. The requirement was divided into three service areas: asset management valuations, development valuations, and strategic disposal valuations. The work covers real estate agency, building surveying and surveying services (CPV 70300000, 71315300 and 71355000). Delivery is in the North East of England, associated with Believe Housing’s operations in Seaham. This is a services contract for organisations able to provide professional property valuation and surveying advice across housing asset management, development activity and property disposals. The buyer is a public authority operating in the social housing sector, so relevant suppliers are likely to understand housing stock, development schemes and the valuation requirements arising from property sales or strategic asset decisions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an above-threshold open procedure, using a closed framework with work allocated to the top-ranked supplier for each lot. Evaluation was based on price. Align Property Partners Limited was awarded Lot 1, Asset Management Valuations, on 12 May 2026 for £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). It was also awarded Lot 2, Development Valuations, on 12 May 2026 for £80,000 excluding VAT (£95,998 including VAT). Both contracts were signed on 30 June 2026 and run from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with possible extensions of up to 12 months on two occasions, to 30 June 2030. Lot 3 concerns Strategic Disposal Valuations and is recorded as complete, with an active award record.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Believe Housing for specialist property valuation services across asset management and development. A credible future competitor would need strong capability in residential property valuation, building surveying and related real estate advice, with the capacity to support both routine housing asset decisions and development-related work. Experience of social housing, property portfolios, development appraisals and disposal advice would be relevant to the three service areas. The route is competitive and price-led, and the buyer indicated that each lot’s work would be allocated to its top-ranked supplier. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the successful supplier, Align Property Partners Limited, is an SME. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate commercially competitive pricing alongside reliable technical delivery and sufficient capacity for a multi-lot housing client.
