UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Property Valuation Service" was executed by The University of Cumbria, a public authority in central government located in Cumbria, United Kingdom. This contract, identified as 26-3Q-02, entered the completion stage as of 9th June 2026. The initiative focused on acquiring external property valuation services for financial reporting purposes. The procurement process followed a "limited" method, described as below threshold with limited competition, aiming to appoint a skilled property valuer. It was completed within the context of the legal framework provided by the UKPGA 2023/54. Key contractual dates included a signing date on 8th June 2026, with the service period running from June 2026 to May 2029. The active contract, valued at £65,450 (net), was awarded to Sanderson Weatherall LLP, a large-scale supplier based in Leeds, United Kingdom.

This tender provides a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in real estate and property valuation services to expand their portfolio through public sector work. Companies in this industry seeking to leverage their financial appraisal expertise would find this contract especially rewarding. Although the successful supplier was a large-scale firm, small to medium-sized enterprises were represented in the bidding process, highlighting that businesses of various scales, equipped with the necessary qualifications and competitive edge, can effectively vie for such contracts. Engaging in similar procurements can position businesses for future opportunities within the public sector's financial and real estate service categories.
