Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council has concluded a public procurement process titled "Measured surveys - Low Rise FRA Actions - Area V Somerstown," focusing on building surveying services. This procurement, categorised under services within the UKJ31 region of the United Kingdom, involved measured surveys to produce floor plans and construction drawings for 53 low-rise blocks of flats in Somerstown, Portsmouth. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 24th July 2026, and the contract duration running from 30th July 2026 to 30th October 2026. The procurement was carried out using a below-threshold procurement method, making it suitable for smaller enterprises.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in building surveying services. It is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given its below-threshold procurement method. The Ruxton Group Ltd, an SME based in Worcester, was successfully awarded the contract, indicating that enterprises with expertise in delivering precise and comprehensive surveying services can effectively compete and fulfil such governmental contracts. Engaging in this type of procurement not only aids in regional development but also expands the portfolio of businesses capable of fulfilling public authority requirements.
