Summary of the contracting process

Connexus Homes Limited has procured a panel of RICS Registered Valuers to provide property valuation and related professional advice across Shropshire and Herefordshire. The work covers domestic valuations, including Right to Buy and Right to Acquire, commercial valuations for small retail units, development and disposal land valuations, Shared Ownership resales, market rent and sales valuations, Section 106 valuations and lease extensions. Suppliers will also support buyback valuations, land and property purchase negotiations and value-for-money decisions. Services may involve physical inspections or desktop valuations in line with RICS standards. The requirement is divided between Shropshire and Herefordshire, with instructions driven by property location, supplier expertise, capacity and operational requirements. It is a property surveying and valuation services opportunity for Connexus’s diverse housing and property portfolio.

The procurement is complete and both lots were awarded on 1 September 2026 following an open procedure. Each lot was evaluated independently using price weighted at 55% and quality, assessed through a written submission, weighted at 45%. Three suppliers were appointed to each lot: Halls Holdings Ltd, Bruton Knowles Limited and Bridgehouse Valuation Services Ltd. The gross value is £210,000 for Shropshire and £210,000 for Herefordshire. Each contract is scheduled to run from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029, with an option to extend for two further years subject to satisfactory annual performance reviews, giving a maximum extent date of 27 September 2031. Three bids were received for each lot, and both lots were suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates established demand from Connexus Homes for qualified valuation capacity across two neighbouring counties and for a broad mix of residential, commercial, land and development instructions. The appointed supplier profile is SME-based, showing that the requirement can be delivered by specialist practices as well as larger firms. A credible future competitor would need RICS Registered Valuers with experience producing compliant valuations for social housing transactions, residential sales and rents, commercial premises, land disposals, development sites, Section 106 matters, lease extensions and Shared Ownership resales. Capability for both site inspections and desktop work, alongside negotiation advice, responsive delivery and sufficient regional coverage, would be important. Evidence of consistent quality, value for money and capacity to support a panel arrangement would strengthen future competitiveness.
