UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited procured employers’ agent services for Phase 1 of the Barne Barton development in Plymouth. The requirement falls within building consultancy services and concerns professional support to the housing development project, rather than construction delivery itself. The work is associated with the buyer’s property development activity and is to be delivered for the Barne Barton Phase 1 scheme in Plymouth. The procurement covered one complete requirement. The selected provider was William Durden & Associates Limited, a Market Harborough-based small and medium-sized enterprise. Businesses active in employers’ agent work, building consultancy and development project support would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those serving housing clients and development programmes in or around Plymouth.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Clarion used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. William Durden & Associates Limited was awarded the single requirement. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and has a gross value of £134,856. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 December 2029, with a maximum possible extension to 31 December 2030. The contract is active and may be extended if required. The evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive assessment, and the published outcome identifies one supplier for the employers’ agent services. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

For a supplier that did not secure this contract, the award shows that Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited buys dedicated employers’ agent and building consultancy support for its housing development schemes. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the professional capability to act as an employers’ agent across a multi-year development, coordinate or advise on project delivery, and provide reliable building consultancy input through the life of a housing phase. Experience relevant to residential development, client-side project support and work in Plymouth or comparable locations would help establish suitability. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only a large multidisciplinary firm. The buyer’s direct-award route also shows the importance of visibility to its property development procurement activity.
