Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved the contracting authority Karbon Homes, based in Newcastle, UK, for the title "Employers Agent Services—Investment." Classified under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, the procurement focused on investment works at Byker Estate in the UKC region. The process reached the award stage on 16th December 2025, with Elvet Construction Consultants Ltd as the supplier. Conducted through a direct award methodology under Prosper Procurement's Built Environment Design & Consultancy Services Framework, the procurement did not require a prior call for competition due to its limited procedure rationale.

Given the direct award nature of the procurement, businesses familiar with competitive frameworks, like those arranged by Prosper Procurement, could find promising prospects for collaboration and growth, particularly in overseeing investment works and listed building projects in the housing sector. The awarded contract, valued at £160,453.44, highlights the project's potential profitability and the opportunity for future extensions beyond the initial 64-week period.
