Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, facilitated by Central Bedfordshire Council, focuses on RICS market sales and rental valuation services for properties within the council's jurisdiction. The contract title is "CBC-1861-Q-AS RICS Valuation Services" under the services category, involving valuations of both leasehold and freehold properties up to 100 a year. The process has progressed to the award stage with the contract signed on 30th January 2026, and the services set to commence from 31st March 2026 until 30th March 2027 with the possibility of a 12-month renewal. This limited competition procurement falls below the threshold and is guided by the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement location is in Central Bedfordshire, with the buyer's contact detail being procurement@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in building surveying services given its focus on property valuations. The awarding of the contract to SRP Property Consultancy Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, illustrates the council's openness to engaging with smaller, agile firms capable of providing comprehensive valuation reports. Suitably qualified businesses within the region and new market entrants offering innovative surveying solutions will find this contract particularly appealing, given its potential duration and the security of ongoing work. Firms looking to expand in the public sector realm with a robust service offering in property consultancy would be well-positioned to compete in similar future procurements by leveraging expertise in the local property market.
