Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Single Building Assessments - Phase 2" contract was undertaken by North Lanarkshire Council (NLC), a regional authority in the United Kingdom. This project, part of an open procurement procedure, aimed to engage a consultancy service for structural engineering services, particularly in high-rise properties in the North Lanarkshire area. The award, signed for £1,613,047.50, was formalised on 3rd June 2026 and appointed to AFEC International Ltd. The tender was part of a larger programme endorsed by the Scottish Government and categorised under CPV code 71312000, focusing on safety and consultancy services. The procurement stage has been completed, transitioning from the tender phase earlier in February when submissions closed on the 31st March 2026.

This tender creates significant opportunities for consultancy businesses, particularly those engaged in structural engineering and fire safety services. As NLC seeks to ensure high standards through quality assurance and environmental management, companies with proven experience, relevant accreditations (like ISO 9001), and strong financial standing would be well-suited to compete. There is potential for additional service requirements, such as fire risk assessments and building material tests, which could provide further opportunities for businesses involved. The project's focus on community benefits, such as enhancing skills and engaging with the local supply chain, indicates that firms contributing to regional development have an advantageous standing, making this a lucrative prospect for qualified entities seeking growth through public sector engagement.
