UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council commissioned commercial property advisory services for a rent review at one of its tenanted commercial properties. The appointed supplier was to act for the council, prepare a rental valuation report and negotiate a settlement agreement to secure an uplift in rent from the tenant. The requirement falls within real estate services and is a professional service rather than construction, maintenance or property management. Delivery covered England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is relevant to firms providing commercial property valuation, rent review advice and landlord-side negotiation, particularly those able to support a public-sector property owner with evidence-based rental assessments and formal agreement of revised terms.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to LAMBERT SMITH HAMPTON GROUP LIMITED. The award is active and the contract was signed on 21 October 2025. The contract period is recorded as 21 October 2025 to 1 October 2026. The contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The tender description states that the amount was capped and dependent on the agreed rent uplift. The purchasing organisation was North Northamptonshire Council. The published process used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The requirement was evaluated through the competition leading to the selected supplier, but the available record does not state separate quality, price or other scoring weightings.

For a supplier assessing future work from North Northamptonshire Council, this procurement demonstrates demand for targeted commercial estates advice focused on rent reviews rather than general property management. A credible competitor would need to undertake defensible rental valuations for tenanted commercial property, understand landlord and tenant rental evidence, and negotiate an agreed uplift with the occupier. It would also need to turn the valuation into a clear written report and an agreement documenting the revised rent. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist property consultancy rather than only a large multidisciplinary firm. Relevant capability is therefore a focused combination of commercial valuation, rent review negotiation, report writing and agreement preparation for public-sector estates.
