Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation commissioned property survey and investigation works under the requirement titled “PTSI Survey and Investigation Works”. The work is classified as building surveying services and concerns surveys and investigations to be carried out on property. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, commonly known as the City of London Corporation. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The available description points to property-focused professional services, so relevant businesses are those able to inspect, survey and investigate buildings or other property assets for this public authority. The named supplier is based in Larkhall, Scotland, while the procurement is associated with the City of London Corporation.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. The contract was awarded to Henderson Thomas Associates, an SME, on 25 May 2026. The contract was signed on 25 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £337,200 excluding VAT and £404,640 including VAT. The procurement used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, under the legal basis identified as 2023/54. There was one completed lot, covering the building surveying services. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome therefore records a single supplier and a single contract for the property survey and investigation requirement, rather than a competitive evaluation involving multiple bids.

This outcome identifies a sustained requirement for specialist property surveying and investigation capability within the City of London Corporation. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate practical expertise in building surveying, property inspections and investigations, with sufficient technical capacity to deliver work across the contract’s scope and timescale. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant firms should be able to provide appropriately experienced surveyors, produce reliable technical findings and manage property-based assignments for a public-sector client. Businesses tracking this buyer should treat the procurement as evidence of demand for professional building surveying services and use the awarded supplier profile as a benchmark for capability and scale.
