UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire University Academies Trust procured a managed statutory property risk and compliance service for its academy estate in Staffordshire. The service covers compliance with statutory property legislation, management of service contracts, monitoring contractor performance, compliance inspections and testing, statutory maintenance programmes, legislative updates and access to the Entrust Property Portal. The appointed managing agent manages the contractors responsible for delivering statutory compliance services. This is a specialist property compliance and building services consultancy requirement, classified under CPV 71315210. The buyer is Staffordshire University Academies Trust, based in Stoke-on-Trent. Delivery applies across the Trust’s property portfolio in Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Entrust Support Services Limited. The contract was signed on 15 May 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its value is £57,411 excluding VAT, or £68,893.20 including VAT. The award covers services evaluated through the limited competition route; the published data does not set out a separate quality or price weighting. The contract is active and the supplier is acting as the Trust’s managing agent for statutory property risk and compliance services, including contractor management, inspections, testing and maintenance programme oversight.

This requirement demonstrates recurring demand from an academy trust for outsourced statutory property compliance rather than a single inspection or maintenance job. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in statutory property legislation, compliance inspections and testing, planned statutory maintenance, service-contract administration and contractor performance management. It would also need to keep legislative requirements under review, coordinate multiple delivery contractors and provide reliable compliance records through a property management portal or comparable system. The appointed supplier is a large organisation, suggesting that the requirement can suit businesses with sufficient operational capacity to manage a dispersed education estate, maintain governance and reporting processes, and act as an effective managing agent between the Trust and specialist contractors. Relevant building services consultancy experience would strengthen a future response.
