Summary of the contracting process

Harlow Council is seeking to appoint a consultancy for Structure Engineer services as part of its HDC Programme, focusing on construction consultancy within the UK region UKI. The main industry category is architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. This process is in the tender update stage as of 8th July 2026, with the original tender initiated in December 2025. The consultancy will support Harlow's commitment to housing transformation by providing essential services across various housing capital projects. Key procurement deadlines include the tender period ending on 12th January 2026. The procurement follows a selective method under a restricted procedure, and the services will commence on 10th February 2026, ending by 9th February 2028.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in structural engineering consultancy and construction services. With an estimated contract value of £6,000,000, it provides a substantial growth prospect for companies able to meet the detailed service requirements, such as site inspection, structural report preparation, and compliance with the Building Safety Act. Ideal candidates are those capable of delivering comprehensive architectural and engineering services, especially businesses familiar with the UK's dynamic construction programme systems and able to participate in electronic submissions. The lack of provision for submission of variants indicates a need for precision in response to the tender's specific technical demands.
