Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council has initiated an open tender inviting professional consultancy services to manage the delivery of its school building maintenance programme. As a public authority in sub-central government, the council seeks a multi-discipline service provider to plan, coordinate, and oversee both planned and contingency maintenance for the county's Local Authority maintained schools. The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, will conclude with submission deadlines on 27th May 2026, while enquiries will be accepted until 20th May 2026. The consultancy services fall under the industry categories of Building consultancy and Building services consultancy, pertinent to the UKG11 region with a total contract value of £1,500,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing for electronic submissions in English.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in building consultancy and management services within the education sector. With a strong emphasis on quality, accounting for 70% of the award criteria, and the remainder focused on price, the contract is suitable for firms offering competitive consultancy fees and high standards of service delivery. The extensive contract period, starting on 13th July 2026 and potentially extending up to 2036, provides stability and the possibility of sustained revenue growth. Businesses adept in handling large-scale, multi-disciplinary projects, particularly those familiar with the dynamics of educational institutions, will find this tender particularly advantageous for expanding their presence and influence within the public sector.
