Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured corporate landlord consultancy services for Phase 2 Delivery. The requirement concerns building and facilities management services supporting the council’s corporate landlord function. Work is delivered in the North East of England, for the council based in Morpeth. The procurement is a service opportunity rather than a works contract or supply of physical goods. It is relevant to firms providing facilities management consultancy, corporate property advice, landlord services or related building-management support to public-sector estates. The requirement is focused on a defined phase of the council’s delivery programme and relates to the management and oversight of buildings and facilities rather than construction itself.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Northumberland County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One supplier was selected: THOMSON FM LTD. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £55,000 excluding VAT and £66,000 including VAT. The award covers one lot and building and facilities management services. The contract is active. The process therefore records a completed, non-competitive route to appoint a supplier for a short Phase 2 corporate landlord consultancy requirement, rather than an open tender assessed through competing bids.

This procurement provides a clear signal of Northumberland County Council’s demand for specialist corporate landlord and facilities management support during estate-delivery work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in building and facilities management, corporate landlord functions and consultancy-led support for public-sector property programmes. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business can be appointed for this type of requirement. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate dependable advisory capacity, an understanding of council-owned estates and the ability to support delivery activity across the North East of England. Experience translating property-management advice into practical programme support would strengthen their position.
