Summary of the contracting process

North East Combined Authority procured a professional property valuation service for Unit L6 at Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate. The requirement was a Red Book valuation, meaning an assessment prepared in accordance with the recognised valuation standards, for a non-residential property. The work concerns a specific commercial or industrial unit rather than construction, facilities management or general estate services. The buyer is the North East Combined Authority, a sub-central public authority based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Delivery relates to the Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate and the identified unit, so relevant suppliers should be able to undertake commercial property valuation work at that estate or in the surrounding North East area.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to SANDERSON WEATHERALL LLP, an SME property advisory firm. It used a below-threshold procedure with further method details recorded as unknown, under the light-touch regime, and comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £2,500 excluding VAT and £3,000 including VAT. The selected supplier is responsible for the Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate valuation requirement. The contracting process is therefore an award outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This outcome shows that the North East Combined Authority buys focused commercial property valuation work for individual assets, using a relatively small, below-threshold route. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable competence in valuing non-residential property and preparing a Red Book valuation for a named commercial unit. Relevant capability includes commercial property surveying, valuation judgement, evidence gathering and production of a professional report suitable for public-sector decision-making. Experience of industrial or trading-estate premises would help establish credibility, as would the capacity to handle a tightly defined assignment efficiently. The incumbent’s SME status indicates that this scale of specialist instruction can be delivered by a focused property consultancy rather than only by a large multidisciplinary firm.
