Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has completed the awarding process for a consultancy contract titled "Demolition Methodology Consultant," aimed at structural engineering consultancy services. This contract pertains to the demolition of high-rise housing blocks in Leeds, specifically those built using a Large Panel System (LPS) construction by Reema. The contract was awarded to Ridge and Partners LLP to develop safe demolition methodologies for several sites, including Raynville Court, Leafield Towers, Bailey Towers, Brookland Towers, and Ramshead Heights. The procurement fell outside the scope of standard directives, using a limited award procedure without a prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 16th February 2026, with Ridge and Partners LLP tasked with various services inclusive of commissioning surveys and structural analysis.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in structural engineering consultancy services, particularly firms that have experience with demolition methodology and project supervision. Companies equipped to manage utility disconnections, carry out necessary surveys, and provide specialist consulting services in planning and transport would find this tender particularly lucrative. As Leeds City Council looks to safely demolish outdated structures, businesses that can provide comprehensive demolition methodologies and execute the requisite site work effectively are well-positioned to benefit from future projects, especially given the scheme's options for ongoing work programme adjustments. Ridge and Partners LLP, being awarded through the Fusion 21 framework, signifies prospects for similar engagements under regulatory provisions.
