Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council bought valuation services for the purchase of new homes at Preston Road, Phase 2, in Kingston upon Hull. The work covers valuation and benchmarking activity associated with those home purchases, classified as evaluation consultancy services. It is a services requirement, with the procurement record also identifying works as an additional category. The Authority is the council, and delivery is in Hull. The requirement formed part of the council’s ERPS Framework Lot 4b, covering valuation and benchmarking works. The appointed provider was Align Property Partners Limited, an SME based in Northallerton. The service supports the council’s assessment of property values and purchase decisions for new homes at the Preston Road development.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Align Property Partners through a direct award via rotation under the ERPS Framework Lot 4b. The method was below threshold without competition. Align Property Partners was appointed for the single requirement, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. The contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 August 2026. The council estimated the overall service value at £1,600. The signed contract value is £1,600 excluding VAT and £1,920 including VAT, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. The available procurement details describe the framework route and valuation scope; they do not set out a separate competitive evaluation weighting.

This award shows a defined requirement for property valuation and benchmarking services supporting a local authority’s purchase of new homes. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have professional capability in residential property valuation, market benchmarking and evaluation consultancy, with the ability to produce evidence-based advice for public-sector acquisition decisions. Relevant experience of valuing newly built or proposed homes, assessing purchase prices and supporting development or housing programmes would strengthen credibility. The buyer used a framework-based direct-award rotation, so suppliers seeking similar work with this council would benefit from access to an appropriate valuation and benchmarking framework and from demonstrating reliable delivery of concise work within a short commission. An SME provider secured the award, indicating that this scale of requirement can suit smaller specialist consultancies.
