UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Three Rivers District Council, based in Hertfordshire, is the awarding body for a completed procurement titled "Property Valuations Consultant." The process was part of the services industry category and was finalised on 7th April 2026. The procurement method was a direct award given to Align Property Partners Ltd, a specialist consultancy firm located in Northallerton, known for previously working with the Council on similar projects. The contract requires the valuation of the Council's land and building assets, and the service period is scheduled from 20th April 2026 to 19th April 2027. The direct award was justified on technical grounds due to the existing supplier's in-depth knowledge of the previous valuation processes, enabling continuity and cost-efficiency.

This tender provides significant opportunities for firms specialising in building consultancy services, particularly those experienced in working with public authorities. Align Property Partners Ltd was selected because of their established familiarity with the Council's asset base, demonstrating the importance of expertise and prior experience when competing for such contracts. Companies aiming to compete for similar opportunities should build relevant experience and foster relationships with local governmental bodies to strengthen their proposals. Profitable partnerships like this one emphasise the value of in-depth knowledge and operational efficiency in public sector procurements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Property Valuations Consultant

Notice Description

Consultant to value Three Rivers District Council's land and building assets.

Procurement Information

Align Property Partners Ltd previously undertook the valuation of the Council's property assets, and therefore already holds a detailed understanding of the asset base, historic valuation methodologies, supporting data and records associated with the portfolio. This existing knowledge provides significant operational advantages, including: Continuity and consistency with previous valuation work Efficiency in accessing and interpreting historical valuation information Reduced risk of inconsistencies in valuation assumptions or methodology Appointing an alternative supplier would require additional time and cost to familiarise themselves with the Council's property portfolio and historical data before undertaking the work. This would likely increase the overall cost and duration of the exercise without delivering proportionate additional value.
