Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured services to manage commercial property and act as the sole retail letting agent for designated retail units within the Heart of the City development. The requirement covers commercial property management and retail leasing activity, including responsibility for marketing and letting the specified units on the council’s behalf. The work is delivered in Sheffield, within the Heart of the City development. This is a public-sector property services requirement rather than a construction, facilities maintenance or general estate agency contract. It is relevant to businesses that manage commercial property and have experience securing retail occupiers for town-centre or mixed-use development units. The council is the buyer and the requirement was treated as one completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Sheffield City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to SMITH YOUNG LIMITED, a Sheffield-based small or medium-sized enterprise, with an award date of 24 July 2026. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 25 July 2026 to 30 June 2030. Its value is £77,000 excluding VAT and £92,400 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the sole lot and the full requirement for managing the designated Heart of the City retail units and acting as retail letting agent. No separate lot or supplier values are reported.

This award provides a clear example of Sheffield City Council’s demand for a specialist commercial property and retail letting service at the Heart of the City development. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in managing commercial units, attracting and assessing prospective retail occupiers, negotiating lettings and supporting the council’s property objectives throughout the agency term. Experience in retail property, town-centre regeneration or mixed-use developments would be directly relevant, particularly where one agent is expected to coordinate the letting activity across designated units. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate capacity to manage a council-facing relationship and deliver the full service as a single provider, rather than only offering isolated marketing or property management tasks.
