Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Property Agency procured commissioning verification engineering services for building projects across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers independent commissioning management and verification of mechanical, electrical and public health building services. The appointed specialist is expected to check that systems have been installed correctly, witness testing, certify performance, and confirm compliance with the design specifications, statutory requirements and CIBSE Commissioning Code M (2022) before building completion. This is construction consultancy work, classified under CPV 71530000. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while an active award and contract are also recorded against it. The work is therefore focused on technical assurance of MEP systems rather than construction delivery, equipment supply or general facilities management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated rationale was a regulated below-threshold requirement, with direct award chosen for value for money, commercial efficiency, continuity and reduced interface risk. One bid was recorded, from an SME. Banyard Consultants Limited was awarded the requirement, and the contract is active. The contract value is £72,000 including the stated procurement estimate, and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. Evaluation was based on price. The underlying lot is recorded as cancelled, but the associated award and contract remain recorded as active. No contract end date or duration is provided in the process data.

This procurement indicates demand from the Government Property Agency for independent MEP commissioning assurance on public building projects. A credible future competitor would need specialist commissioning verification capability covering mechanical, electrical and public health systems, including the ability to review installations against design requirements, witness and assess testing, and certify that systems perform before completion. Familiarity with statutory compliance and CIBSE Commissioning Code M (2022) is central to the requirement. The direct-award rationale also indicates that operational compatibility with an existing project and its technical requirements mattered, alongside continuity and avoidance of interface risks. Firms positioned to integrate with a prime contractor’s supply chain while retaining independent verification and certification capability would be well placed when this type of requirement returns.

Procurement Information

This contract is a direct award for a regulated below-threshold procurement valued at PS72,000. A direct route was chosen to ensure value for money and commercial efficiency. Delivering this requirement through the existing prime contractor's supply chain would have introduced unnecessary management markups and administrative on-costs, inflating public spend without adding service value. Undertaking a full competitive tender or formal PIN process for this value would be disproportionate to the contract size, causing unnecessary delays. The selected supplier possesses direct operational compatibility with the project's current technical requirements, eliminating interface risks and securing continuity of delivery.
