Summary of the contracting process

The Health and Safety Executive appointed a technical adviser to support its Estates Team with revenue and capital improvement works at its Buxton site. The adviser also provides specialist guidance to the Science Engineering Analysis Division on projects covered by construction design and management regulations. The work includes building construction, building repairs and maintenance, and civil engineering consultancy. The HSE may also use the adviser for technical advice across its property portfolio nationwide. The requirement is for professional property and engineering advice connected with public-sector estate improvement projects, rather than a construction works contract. Delivery is centred on Buxton, with potential work across the HSE’s UK-wide estate.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Castle Owen following an open procedure. The award was made on 18 September 2026. The stated award value is £1 million excluding VAT, or £1.5 million including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two possible one-year extensions, each exercised separately, taking the maximum period to 31 October 2031. The requirement was a single lot, and one bid was received. Evaluation weighted cost at 45%, quality at 45% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission in English was permitted, with tender responses and clarification requests handled through the HSE’s In-Tend portal.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand from the HSE, this award shows a requirement for technical advisory capability spanning estate improvement projects, building maintenance and construction, and civil engineering consultancy. Credible competitors would need to advise an estates team on both revenue-funded and capital works, and provide specialist support on projects subject to construction design and management regulations. The ability to cover a portfolio extending beyond one site would be relevant, alongside the capacity to support a central government client and work effectively with its science and engineering division. The award went to an SME, and the procurement was suitable for SMEs. Competition was assessed on both technical quality and price, with social value also contributing to the decision, so a strong future competitor would need a convincing delivery approach and social value offer as well as competitive costs.
