UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Schools PFI Condition Surveys" was conducted by Cheshire West and Chester Council, a public authority within the sub-central government of the United Kingdom. This contract, which falls within the services category, is focused on conducting condition and lifecycle surveys for PFI schools during the 2026-2027 period. The procurement was executed directly without competition, under a below-threshold method. On 16th January 2026, David Trowler Associates was awarded the contract, with services scheduled to commence from 2nd February 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2027. The contract is valued at £51,000 and covers services primarily in the region UKD6, United Kingdom. The legal framework guiding this process is delineated under UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in real estate services, particularly those with expertise in conducting condition and lifecycle surveys for educational establishments. As the contract was awarded without competition, organisations of a similar scope and capability, especially small to medium enterprises (SMEs), might find direct and straightforward engagements with local councils beneficial for future projects. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts within the service industry and those capable of delivering comprehensive survey reports would be particularly well-suited to capitalise on such opportunities. Given the geographical focus, businesses located within or near the UKD6 region could gain logistical advantages in similar tenders.
