Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited procured services for valuing properties. The requirement sits within insurance-related services, with the stated purpose of producing property valuations. The work is associated with Midland Heart, a housing organisation based in Birmingham, and concerns its property portfolio. The selected supplier, Riskstop Group Limited, is based in Bournemouth. This opportunity is therefore relevant to firms providing property valuation services for housing providers, insurers or property portfolios, particularly businesses able to support insurance-related valuation requirements. It is not a construction, repair or general insurance underwriting contract: the defined service is property valuation. Suppliers whose core work is surveying, valuation and related insurance support would be the closest commercial fit for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, and Riskstop Group Limited was selected for the contract. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and ran from 1 April 2026 to 1 June 2026. Its value was £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The published data identifies the service category as insurance services and the requirement as property valuation. No award date is recorded separately from the contract signing date, so 1 April 2026 is the relevant recorded date for the completed appointment.

This procurement provides a clear indication of Midland Heart’s demand for property valuation work connected with insurance services. A competing supplier would need to demonstrate that it can value properties accurately and deliver work suitable for an institutional housing portfolio, rather than offering only generic insurance administration or underwriting. The requirement was fulfilled through a below-threshold limited competition, showing that relevant firms may need to be identifiable to the buyer and able to respond efficiently to a focused competition. Riskstop Group Limited is recorded as an SME, so the requirement was not limited to a national corporate provider. Specialist valuation businesses and smaller firms with credible property-sector capability would be the most relevant competitors when this buyer next considers comparable work.
