Summary of the contracting process

Great Yarmouth Borough Council commissioned independent open-market valuations for council homes being purchased by tenants under the Right to Buy scheme. The service supports the council’s statutory duty as social landlord and requires valuations to comply with Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) standards and government Right to Buy policy. This is a property valuation and building-surveying service, with work delivered in the Great Yarmouth area of Norfolk. The requirement covers the valuation service rather than construction or property maintenance.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Norse Group Services Limited, which signed the contract on 30 September 2026. The award was made through an open, below-threshold competition. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2028, with one optional extension year, to 4 October 2029. Its value is £56,250 excluding VAT (£67,500 including VAT). Tenders were assessed on quality and price, weighted 60% and 40% respectively. The process had one lot, covering the Right to Buy valuation service for Great Yarmouth Borough Council.

This award shows demand for an independent residential valuation service supporting Right to Buy sales by a local authority social landlord. A credible competitor would need qualified property valuation and surveying capability, with the ability to provide independent open-market valuations that meet RICS standards and government Right to Buy policy. The service is a focused, council-specific requirement rather than a broad property services contract; suppliers should be equipped to handle valuation instructions for the council’s housing stock and deliver work in the Great Yarmouth area. The evaluation gave quality greater weight than price, so a strong future competitor would need to demonstrate robust valuation methods and reliable service delivery alongside competitive pricing.
