Summary of the contracting process

Norwich City Council has recently concluded a procurement process for the provision of Professional Quantity Surveyors services, specifically for producing a true value report aimed at adjudication purposes. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted without competition, being below threshold. The contracting process began with a contract start date of 2nd September 2025 and is set to end on 2nd December 2025. The contract was awarded to SOCOTEC ADVISORY LIMITED, headquartered in London, marking the project as complete. The project is located in the UKH15 region (Norwich), and it aligns with public authority requirements as set under UKPGA 2023/54 regulation.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for growth to businesses that specialise in quantity surveying services and can provide expert reports for value adjudication. Given that SOCOTEC ADVISORY LIMITED is an SME, similar small to medium enterprises with a focus on advisory roles within the construction and infrastructure sectors may find such tenders highly beneficial. Companies operating in the domain of professional services, particularly those located near or within the designated region, could leverage this opportunity to work with government authorities and demonstrate subject-matter expertise in future tenders. This opportunity not only boosts business credibility but also strengthens their profile in government tendering landscapes.
