Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bradford procured professional construction consultancy services for its estates, infrastructure and capital development activities. The requirement covers specialist advice and technical support across the University’s property portfolio, including project management, surveying, design, engineering, cost consultancy, and health and safety. The services support the planning, delivery, maintenance and improvement of buildings and infrastructure. The primary work category is infrastructure and structural engineering consultancy, including consultancy related to infrastructure works. Delivery is for the University’s property and infrastructure activities in Bradford, West Yorkshire. This is a public-sector estates advisory requirement suited to multidisciplinary construction consultancy practices able to support capital projects and the ongoing management and improvement of a university property portfolio.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure below the applicable threshold, with the award made under a framework and without a competitive call-off. There was one completed lot. The University awarded the contract to SYCAMORE SQUARE GROUP LTD on 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £166,666.66 excluding VAT and £200,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2027. A signature was scheduled for 1 September 2026. The award covers the full property, building and infrastructure advice and management services requirement. The selected supplier is a large organisation, and the award was made for services rather than works or goods.

This procurement shows that the University of Bradford uses a framework route for multidisciplinary property and infrastructure consultancy, with a requirement substantial enough to cover a broad range of professional disciplines. A credible future supplier would need coordinated capability in project management, building and infrastructure surveying, design, structural or civil engineering, cost consultancy, and health and safety advice. Experience supporting estates, capital development, maintenance and improvement programmes would be relevant, particularly in a complex institutional environment such as a university. Suppliers should be able to combine strategic advice with technical delivery across a property portfolio, manage several specialist workstreams, and demonstrate the organisational capacity expected of a large, framework-appointed consultancy provider.
