Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited commissioned cost consultancy for the Bilton Estate regeneration project in Rugby. The requirement covers a cost consultant for RIBA Stages 1 to 3, covering the early design and development stages of the estate regeneration scheme. The work falls within professional quantity surveying and cost management services, classified under CPV 71324000. It is relevant to firms providing construction cost advice, quantity surveying and cost consultancy for housing or estate regeneration projects, particularly those able to support a client from the initial project definition through to the developed design stage. The service is for Clarion’s property development activity at the Bilton Estate in Rugby, rather than a general housing maintenance or construction delivery contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one completed lot. Abacus Cost Management was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 2 September 2026. The active contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 26 October 2027 and has a gross value of £60,000. The award was made on the basis of a limited competition rather than an open procedure. The requirement was evaluated within that competition, with the successful outcome recorded for Abacus Cost Management. This is an award-stage outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid, and the contract covers the cost consultant service for the stated early RIBA project stages.

This procurement provides a clear example of Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited’s demand for external cost consultancy on estate regeneration work in Rugby. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need established quantity surveying and cost management capability, with experience advising on housing or estate regeneration projects during RIBA Stages 1 to 3. Relevant capability would include developing and managing project cost advice during early design, supporting informed development decisions and working with the client’s property development team. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than necessarily a large multidisciplinary contractor. Firms with focused cost consultancy expertise and capacity for a single regeneration commission are the closest comparators.
