UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Combined Fire Authority procured cost management consultancy services for a new-build project. The requirement sits within construction consultancy and covers cost management rather than construction works themselves. The authority is based in Leicester, so suppliers familiar with public-sector building programmes in Leicester and the surrounding area may find the buyer relevant. The contracted service is associated with activity in the United Kingdom. Gleeds Cost Management Limited, a large consultancy based in Bristol, was selected as the supplier. The requirement was handled as a single procurement lot and relates to professional advisory support for managing the costs of a new building project.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded. The authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, rather than an open tender. Gleeds Cost Management Limited was awarded the contract and the contract was signed on 17 August 2026. It runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 December 2028. The total gross contract value is £36,357.60. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies construction consultancy services as the contracted category and links the award to the single lot covering the cost management consultancy requirement. No separate evaluation weighting or competitive bid process is reported for this direct award.

This procurement shows demand from a fire authority for specialist cost management support on a new-build programme. Suppliers best placed to compete for comparable work are established construction cost management or quantity surveying consultancies with experience advising public-sector clients through building projects. Relevant capability would include producing and controlling project cost information, supporting budget management and providing practical commercial advice as a building scheme develops. Firms should be able to deliver consultancy rather than physical construction, work with a public authority and maintain consistent support across a substantial project period. The award also indicates that a sizeable, specialist consultancy was considered suitable for this requirement, providing a useful benchmark for competitors assessing their own capacity and public-sector construction experience.
