UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council commissioned measured building surveys for 53 low-rise blocks of flats in the Somerstown area of Portsmouth. The work covers producing floor plans and construction drawings to support Fire Risk Assessment actions. This is a specialist building surveying services requirement, involving site measurement and the preparation of accurate drawings for existing residential buildings. Delivery is in Portsmouth, with the buyer being the city council. The scope is focused on low-rise housing blocks rather than general surveying across a wider property portfolio. Businesses with experience surveying occupied or existing residential buildings, and converting survey information into usable floor plans and construction documentation, would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to The Ruxton Group Ltd, an SME. There was one completed lot. The award date was 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 30 October 2026 and has a gross value of £68,890. The award is recorded as active. The procurement was conducted below the applicable threshold, using a method recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. The available outcome records identify the winning supplier and the building surveying service, but do not set out an award-criteria weighting or a comparative evaluation breakdown.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Portsmouth City Council for measured surveying and technical drawing production across a substantial group of low-rise residential blocks. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the practical capability to survey existing buildings accurately, produce clear floor plans, and prepare construction drawings suitable for follow-on Fire Risk Assessment actions. Relevant experience in residential blocks and housing-related programmes would help demonstrate understanding of the setting and the need for consistent outputs across multiple properties. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than necessarily requiring the resources of a major national consultancy. Suppliers should be able to manage coordinated surveying and drawing work across Portsmouth.
