Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes City Council procured clerk of works services for the construction stage of the Agora regeneration development in Wolverton, Milton Keynes. The appointed clerk of works is intended to oversee the entire build, working alongside the Council’s client team and its appointed construction partner. The scope covers supervision of building work, construction-site supervision, project supervision and project documentation. This is a construction consultancy and technical site assurance requirement rather than a construction contract itself. The work is delivered in Milton Keynes. The buyer is Milton Keynes City Council, a local public authority, and the selected supplier is ITSA (Independent technical site assurance), an SME providing independent technical site assurance services.

This completed procurement used a below-threshold open competition with one lot. The tender deadline was 10 June 2026 at 12:00, following an enquiry deadline of 27 May 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to ITSA (Independent technical site assurance) and signed on 20 July 2026. The active contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 2 December 2029. Its value is £153,000 excluding VAT, or £183,600 including VAT. The tender’s estimated value was £140,000 excluding VAT and £168,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on price weighted at 60% and quality at 40%. Electronic submissions were allowed. The tender status is complete and the contract status is active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Milton Keynes City Council for independent clerk of works and construction-site assurance during a major regeneration build. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need to provide technically competent personnel able to monitor construction quality, oversee site activity, review project documentation and work effectively with a public-sector client team and the main construction partner. Relevant experience in building-work supervision, construction-stage assurance and reporting would be important, alongside the capacity to remain involved throughout a substantial build programme. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist independent consultancy can compete for this type of requirement without being the principal construction contractor. Firms tracking future Council regeneration and construction assurance requirements should develop evidence in these specific services.
