Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of estate management services under the framework CCS Framework RM6168. This contract, titled "SCC-SMS-0749b", falls within the industry category of Development Services of Real Estate and the service was procured using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The awarded contract is situated in the UKJ32 region, representing Southampton, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract officially signed on 29th November 2024 with a value of £34,866. The designated supplier for this contract is Bruton Knowles Limited.

This contract offers substantial growth opportunities, particularly for businesses skilled in estate management services looking to engage in public sector projects without needing to compete through a public call for tenders. Companies that can deliver high-quality service at competitive prices are well positioned to succeed, as the award criteria prioritised quality and price with respective weightings of 40 and 60. The procurement falls outside the usual scope of directives, sparking opportunities for businesses that are adept at navigating such frameworks and those already engaged with the UK public sector through established networks, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
