Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council appointed an external provider to carry out annual valuations of property assets in the Council’s asset register. The valuations are used in the Council’s annual balance sheet and financial reporting. This is a property valuation and financial consultancy service, covering the Council’s property portfolio in Coventry. The work requires the supplier to value the assets each year, rather than supply or build property. The contract brings together portfolio management, financial consultancy and building-related expertise to support the Council’s asset valuation and reporting requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Lambert Smith Hampton Group Limited. The award was made on 25 August 2026, following an open procedure. Price and quality each carried equal weight in evaluation. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from that date to 18 October 2029, with one two-year extension option, taking the latest possible expiry to 18 October 2031. The contract value is £308,375 excluding VAT (£370,050 including VAT). The requirement was tendered as a single lot. Seven bids reached the final stage of evaluation.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind, credibility will depend on the ability to deliver annual valuations across a local authority property portfolio and provide outputs suitable for incorporation into public-sector financial reporting. The Council sought an external accredited provider, so relevant valuation accreditation and demonstrable property valuation expertise would be central. A capable supplier would also need to manage a recurring programme of asset valuations, with the technical knowledge to assess varied property assets and the financial understanding to support accurate balance-sheet reporting. The award shows that Coventry City Council procured this as a combined service, evaluated equally on price and quality, and selected a large property and consultancy provider. The seven final-stage bids indicate competition from multiple suppliers, including smaller businesses.
