UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Lancashire Borough Council is procuring legal disrepair surveyor services for its housing and legal teams. The appointed surveyor or surveying provider will assess housing disrepair claims, prepare reports and provide expert witness services. Work must be carried out in accordance with relevant UK housing legislation and standards, supporting the council’s handling of claims and related legal proceedings. This is a professional housing condition, building surveying and expert evidence requirement, rather than general repair delivery. Services are to be delivered for West Lancashire Borough Council in its area. The procurement is classified under repair and maintenance services, although the practical scope centres on surveying, reporting and expert support for housing disrepair cases.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions or clarification requests had to be submitted by 3 October 2026 at 17:00, and tenders had to be submitted by 17 October 2026 at 17:00. Electronic submission is allowed, with the submission arrangements set out in the tender documents. There is one lot. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2029. Its estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. Tenders will be evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%.

This opportunity suits qualified and experienced surveyors or surveying firms with expertise in housing disrepair and the ability to produce robust technical reports for legal use. Suppliers should understand relevant UK housing legislation and standards, assess the condition and alleged defects of homes, and present clear findings to support housing and legal teams. The requirement also suits providers with credible expert witness capability, including experience explaining technical evidence in relation to disrepair claims and legal proceedings. It is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist practices may be well placed to compete if they can provide the required professional expertise, reporting quality and capacity.
