Summary of the contracting process

Torridge District Council procured building and mechanical and electrical (MEP) condition surveys for three leisure facilities. The work covers assessing the condition of the buildings and their mechanical and electrical services, providing engineering and inspection services to inform the council’s understanding of its leisure-facility assets. Delivery is in the Torridge District Council area of the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Torridge District Council, a sub-central public authority based in Bideford. The requirement falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000). It was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate lots, and is relevant to firms able to inspect leisure buildings alongside their mechanical and electrical installations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. HULLEY AND KIRKWOOD CONSULTING ENGINEERS LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The award was made and the contract signed on 3 September 2026. The contract runs from 3 September to 11 December 2026, with a maximum extent to 11 February 2027; renewal is allowed where delay is caused by weather. The contract value is £64,030 excluding VAT and £76,836 including VAT. The awarded service is classified as engineering and inspection work. The contract is active, and the award is active. The procurement used a limited rather than open procedure, so the opportunity was competed among a restricted group of suppliers.

This procurement demonstrates a council requirement for integrated condition assessment of leisure facilities, combining building surveying with mechanical and electrical services expertise. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be able to inspect the fabric and condition of public leisure buildings, assess associated mechanical and electrical systems, and produce a coherent report covering both building and MEP findings. Credibility would come from relevant engineering, construction inspection and condition-survey capability, with sufficient capacity to examine three facilities within a defined delivery programme. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only a large contractor. Firms should also be able to compete through a limited, below-threshold council process.
