UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority commissioned consultancy services to independently review surveys and reports for residential blocks at College Bank. The work requires qualified and experienced professionals to carry out a technical review and examine the associated costings. It is a public-sector professional services requirement, classified under research and development consultancy services (CPV 73200000). The buyer is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, based in Manchester. Delivery is recorded as taking place in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers one completed lot and is focused on specialist review work rather than construction delivery. Businesses with expertise in independent building or engineering assessments, technical scrutiny of residential-block surveys and cost validation are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CIVIC ENGINEERS LIMITED. It followed a below-threshold limited competition using a request-for-quotation route under the Procurement Act 2023 and the authority’s constitution. The contract was signed on 5 June 2026 and runs from 17 June to 16 August 2026. Two optional one-month extensions may extend the maximum end date to 16 October 2026. The awarded value is £93,055 excluding VAT, or £111,666 including VAT. The award is active, as is the contract. One lot was completed and awarded to CIVIC ENGINEERS LIMITED. The recorded procurement category is services, covering the independent technical and costings review of surveys and reports for residential blocks.

This award indicates demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for independent technical and cost review of survey evidence relating to residential blocks. A credible competitor for similar work would need qualified and experienced professionals who can assess the technical quality of building surveys and reports, challenge or validate their costings, and provide an impartial written review. Relevant capability is likely to include building or civil engineering consultancy, technical due diligence, condition assessment and construction-cost expertise, applied specifically to residential blocks. The winning supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only a large corporate provider. Firms able to provide independent advice, understand complex survey information and produce defensible cost analysis would be well placed for this buyer’s comparable requirements.
