Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council commissioned asset management services for the Victoria Shopping Centre in Southend-on-Sea. The work is commercial property management (CPV 70332200), focused on managing this shopping centre. The procurement covers one lot and the awarded supplier is RivingtonHark Limited. The service is delivered in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. RivingtonHark Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its stated value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The contract covers asset management services for the Victoria Shopping Centre.

This award shows demand from Southend-on-Sea City Council for commercial property asset management at the Victoria Shopping Centre. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capability and capacity to manage a shopping centre as a commercial property asset, and relevant experience delivering that service for a public-sector client. The buyer made this award directly without competition, so this process does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or set out specific qualifications, accreditations or technical criteria. Suppliers with a track record in shopping-centre asset management and the resources to support the centre’s requirements are the closest fit for comparable work from this buyer.
