UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority commissioned technical due diligence building surveys for potential sites it may acquire. The requirement covers building surveying and building-inspection services, including the technical assessment of properties before acquisition. The buyer is West Midlands Combined Authority, a public authority based in Birmingham. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a professional property and construction consultancy requirement rather than construction works: relevant suppliers are firms able to inspect buildings, assess their technical condition and provide due-diligence advice to support acquisition decisions. The procurement is presented as one completed requirement, covering the full survey service for the potential sites considered by the authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One completed lot was awarded to CADENCE CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANCY LIMITED. The award is active and the contract value is £30,195 gross. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and ran from 1 June 2026 to 30 July 2026. The selected supplier was appointed to deliver the building surveying and building-inspection services for the technical due diligence requirement. The available outcome shows a single supplier and a single contract, evaluated through the authority’s direct-award route rather than an open tender. The process was conducted under the legal basis identified as 2023/54.

This procurement shows demand from West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist property due diligence before acquiring potential sites. A credible future competitor would need practical building-surveying and inspection capability, with the expertise to identify and explain technical issues that could affect an acquisition decision. The work suits a construction consultancy or building surveying practice able to produce clear, decision-ready assessments for a public-sector client, rather than a general building contractor. The selected provider is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist consultancy at SME scale. Firms seeking similar work should be able to demonstrate relevant building inspection experience, dependable technical reporting and the capacity to complete surveys across the authority’s property requirements.
