Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council procured employers’ agent and quantity surveying services for the Deben Fields Project. The requirement covers professional quantity surveying and client-side project management support, with the supplier acting as the council’s employers’ agent for the project. The main service category is quantity surveying services (CPV 71324000). Delivery is in Suffolk, serving East Suffolk Council’s project requirements. This is a public-sector construction and property advisory opportunity rather than a works contract: relevant businesses would provide commercial management, cost advice, procurement support and contract administration on behalf of the client. The named buying organisation is East Suffolk Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was arranged through the ESPO Property, Building & Infrastructure Advice & Management Services framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 15 May 2026 to NORSE GROUP SERVICES LIMITED. It used a selective procedure and a non-competitive direct award under the ESPO framework, rather than an open competition. The award and signed contract value is £281,604 excluding VAT, or £337,924.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 28 February 2029, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. There was one completed lot, covering the Deben Fields Project services. The award was active and the resulting contract is active. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold. The published outcome therefore identifies both the appointed supplier and the scale and duration of the council’s requirement.

This award indicates demand from East Suffolk Council for an established professional services provider able to combine employers’ agent duties with quantity surveying for a public-sector construction project. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable cost planning, estimating, measurement, valuation, procurement and commercial reporting capability, together with the ability to administer construction contracts and advise a public client throughout project delivery. Experience of managing project costs, risks, change and payment processes would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also understand public-sector governance and be able to operate through an applicable property, building and infrastructure advisory framework. The appointed supplier is a large commercial organisation, suggesting that capacity to resource a multi-year commission and maintain consistent professional support will be important when this buyer next requires comparable services.
