Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council is procuring a management agent service for Jopling’s House in Sunderland. The requirement is a residential property management service, covering the management of residential property rather than construction or the supply of goods. The service will be delivered in Sunderland. It is a public-sector service opportunity for organisations experienced in managing residential property, leasing or renting services, and handling the operational responsibilities associated with a managed residential asset. The procurement is presented as a single service requirement. The council is the buying organisation and will use the service to support the management of Jopling’s House. Businesses whose core work is residential property management, housing management or related property services should consider the opportunity relevant, subject to meeting the stated legal, financial and technical participation conditions.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: Sunderland City Council invited offers through an open procedure using the NEPO Open eTender system. Expressions of interest and responses must be submitted electronically through that system; postal and email submissions are not accepted. The deadline for enquiries is 19 August 2026 at 5:00pm, and the tender submission deadline is 27 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The planned evaluation and award period ends on 11 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 24 September 2026 to 23 September 2031. Its estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality pass/fail, price weighted at 55%, and social value weighted at 5%, with quality carrying 40%. A supplier briefing is scheduled online via Microsoft Teams for 12 August 2026 at 2:00pm.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as larger residential property management businesses. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the legal and financial standing required for participation and the technical ability to deliver a management agent service for residential property. Relevant capability is likely to include managing residential buildings or housing assets, coordinating property-related services, maintaining effective tenant or occupier-facing arrangements, and providing reliable day-to-day contract management. The requirement is best suited to organisations with established residential property or housing management experience, appropriate financial capacity and the operational resources to sustain service delivery over a multi-year contract. Businesses that can combine property management expertise with a clear approach to quality and measurable social value are particularly aligned with the stated evaluation basis.
