Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council commissioned services for Staffordshire Pension Fund’s direct property portfolio. The requirement is for reinstatement cost assessments (RCAs), which establish the cost of rebuilding or reinstating properties and support appropriate insurance arrangements. The work is classified as building consultancy services and covers the council’s pension fund properties in Staffordshire. This is a professional property and building consultancy requirement rather than construction delivery, facilities management or insurance broking. Relevant suppliers are firms able to inspect and assess buildings, produce defensible reinstatement-cost figures and provide property information suitable for use in insurance decisions. The buying organisation is Staffordshire County Council, acting for the Staffordshire Pension Fund.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Hollis for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The contract runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £43,050 excluding VAT, or £51,660 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a procedure recorded as “below threshold – unknown”. Hollis was selected for the RCA and building consultancy service, with the award classified as services. The available outcome records the successful supplier and contract terms, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Staffordshire County Council for specialist property consultancy supporting public-sector insurance decisions. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of reinstatement cost assessment across a direct property portfolio, including the ability to inspect buildings, understand construction and building elements, and calculate realistic rebuilding or reinstatement costs. It would also need to produce clear, consistent and auditable reports that an insurer, fund manager and public authority can rely on. The requirement is suited to an established building consultancy, surveying practice or multidisciplinary property adviser with sufficient surveying capacity, robust quality assurance and experience working with public-sector property owners and insurance-related assessments.
