UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Suffolk District Council commissioned a full revaluation of all assets belonging to Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council. The requirement is a professional evaluation consultancy service covering council asset valuation rather than construction, supplies or general administrative support. The buying organisation is Mid Suffolk District Council, with the work relating to assets across the Babergh and Mid Suffolk council areas. The contracted service is relevant to firms specialising in public-sector asset valuation, property and asset appraisal, or related evaluation consultancy. It concerns a single requirement covering the councils’ complete asset portfolio, rather than separate services divided into multiple packages.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Wilks Head & Eve LLP was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 February 2026 and runs from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2029, with a possible 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 31 January 2030. Its value is £140,000 excluding VAT and £168,000 including VAT. The award is active and relates to the full revaluation requirement. The available procurement record identifies evaluation consultancy services as the classification for the awarded work. The supplier is Wilks Head & Eve LLP, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for comprehensive valuation of local-authority assets across two councils, delivered through a direct below-threshold route. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability in full asset revaluation and evaluation consultancy, with the capacity to cover a council-wide portfolio rather than isolated assets. Experience of working with public-sector asset owners would be commercially relevant because the requirement concerns council assets and spans Babergh and Mid Suffolk. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the scale and professional scope can be delivered by a specialist smaller firm. Firms combining valuation expertise, portfolio capacity and public-sector delivery experience would be best placed for comparable requirements from this buyer.
