Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council is procuring building surveying and related construction consultancy services for Centenary House on Regent Road in Morecambe. The appointed surveyor will review existing condition surveys and carry out a site inspection. Centenary House is a former Co-operative department store in Morecambe’s West End, comprising a largely vacant five-storey building with a basement, ground, first, second and partial third-floor or dormer level. It has approximately 2,583–2,700 square metres of gross internal area and has been largely vacant for more than 30 years, although part of the ground floor remains occupied by a retail tenant. The work will inform the Council’s longer-term plans for disposal and conversion or redevelopment of the property as affordable housing by a registered provider or housing association.

The procurement has reached tender: Lancaster City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services contract, evaluated under the Council’s below-threshold evaluation approach. Electronic submission is allowed, with responses due by 13 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 24 December 2026. The estimated gross contract value is £18,000 including VAT, in one lot. The opportunity concerns building surveying services, with related construction consultancy, architectural and engineering design elements. Suppliers must register on the ProContract eTendering portal, express an interest, download the tender documents and submit their completed response electronically. The procurement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits qualified and experienced building surveyors able to assess an older, substantially vacant commercial property and turn existing information and site observations into a practical condition assessment. Relevant capability includes reviewing previous surveys, planning and conducting a site inspection, identifying defects or abnormal conditions, and explaining their implications for conversion or redevelopment. Experience with large, multi-storey buildings, long-term vacancy, occupied premises and mixed-use or housing-redevelopment projects would be useful. Suppliers with construction consultancy, architectural or engineering design experience may also be well placed where these disciplines support the survey work. The requirement is suited to firms with the capacity to complete a focused investigation and report within a short, defined commission, and to advise a public-sector client considering affordable-housing redevelopment.
