Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured strategic property consultancy services to review and manage its estate assets. The work covers high-level strategy assessment and building consultancy across the University’s estate in the United Kingdom. It is a professional services requirement for a property consultancy able to advise a university on the condition, management and strategic direction of its buildings and wider property assets. The arrangement is based on agreed consultancy day rates, with services drawn down as required. The buyer is Coventry University, based in Coventry. The awarded supplier is CBRE Ltd, a large property and real estate consultancy headquartered for this contract in Glasgow. The requirement is categorised as services, specifically building consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Coventry University used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. CBRE Ltd received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed and started on 1 May 2026, and runs to 31 August 2031. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. The arrangement is a call-off consultancy contract: expenditure depends on the services used and the agreed day rates. The award date is 1 May 2026. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no competing bid process or published scoring basis applies to this procurement.

This procurement demonstrates Coventry University’s demand for specialist property advice supporting strategic management of a university estate. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible experience in strategic property consultancy, estate asset review and building consultancy, with the ability to translate property evidence into high-level recommendations for a complex education organisation. The delivery model favours a consultancy that can provide skilled advisers on agreed day rates and scale input according to the services requested, rather than relying only on a fixed one-off assignment. Relevant firms should be able to combine property strategy, building knowledge and practical estate-management advice, while operating as a dependable professional services partner over a multi-year call-off arrangement.
