Summary of the contracting process

Be One Homes procured property and land valuation services for three areas of its housing and land activity: right-to-buy transactions, property auctions and land sales. The work sits within the wider building-surveying services category and is intended to provide valuations to support these activities. The buyer is Be One Homes, based in Bolton. Delivery is across North West England. The requirement was awarded to two separate valuation businesses, indicating a need for more than one provider to support the buyer’s property and land transactions. The procurement covers services rather than construction works, property development or the sale of land itself. Businesses relevant to this requirement are therefore firms able to undertake property and land valuations for a housing organisation, including valuations connected with sales, auctions and right-to-buy processes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and awarded on 1 September 2026 to MICHAEL HOLDEN (FRICS) LTD and LEA HOUGH & CO LLP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with two possible 12-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 31 August 2029. Its value is £87,000 excluding VAT and £104,000 including VAT. The two suppliers share the single requirement rather than separate lots being described. The award was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published procurement information does not set out further scoring criteria or a separate price-quality weighting.

This award shows recurring demand from Be One Homes for external property and land valuation capacity in the North West of England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate reliable valuation services across right-to-buy cases, auctions and land sales, with the professional judgement and operational capacity to handle varied residential and land-related instructions. The buyer selected two small and medium-sized valuation practices, so relevant firms include specialist surveying or valuation businesses that can provide dependable coverage and maintain service continuity alongside another appointed provider. Experience of working for a housing organisation would help a supplier understand regulated sales, property disposals and valuation evidence. Firms should be able to work across the full requirement rather than offering only general building surveys or unrelated estate agency services.
