Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council appointed a sole letting agent to manage commercial property lettings for food, beverage and leisure businesses within the HOCII Scheme. The work is a commercial property letting and management service, covering the council’s food, beverage and leisure lettings rather than general property services. The recorded delivery area is England, with Sheffield City Council as the buyer. This requirement is relevant to property advisory and agency firms with the capability to handle commercial lettings in these sectors and to act as a single agent across the scheme.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sheffield City Council made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and selected Metis Real Estate Advisors Limited. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from that date to 30 June 2030. Its value is £117,000 excluding VAT (£140,400 including VAT). There was one lot, covering management of commercial property lettings for food, beverage and leisure within the HOCII Scheme. The published process data does not describe an evaluation basis or bidder eligibility conditions.

The award shows that Sheffield City Council uses a sole-agent model for its food, beverage and leisure lettings within the HOCII Scheme, and that a specialist property adviser can secure a multi-year management appointment through a direct, below-threshold award. Metis Real Estate Advisors Limited, an SME, was selected. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need commercial property agency expertise relevant to food, beverage and leisure occupiers, and the capacity to manage the council’s lettings across the scheme as a single provider. The work is focused on commercial property lettings, so firms whose experience is limited to residential agency, general facilities management or unrelated leisure operations would be less closely aligned.
