Summary of the contracting process

Saxon Weald intends to establish a framework of consultants for property safety and asset management. The planned service areas include lift consultancy; gas and electrical audit quality assurance; fire risk assessments and external wall surveys; damp and mould surveys; energy and sustainability advice; structural engineering; multidisciplinary services; mechanical and electrical consultancy; building and quantity surveying; and principal designer services under both construction design management and building regulations. The framework is intended to be divided into multiple lots, with the lot structure still being developed. The procurement is for services, including consultative engineering and construction services. The contracting process identifies the United Kingdom as the delivery country. Saxon Weald is the buying organisation.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Saxon Weald is conducting preliminary market engagement to inform its procurement strategy and lotting structure, rather than inviting tenders. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 16 November 2026. Suppliers wishing to contribute to the engagement are asked to provide information by 31 October 2026; this is an engagement date, not a tender submission deadline. The intended arrangement is a framework, split into multiple lots. One lot is currently identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The planned contract period for that lot runs from 1 May 2027 to 29 April 2031. No estimated procurement value is stated in the process data.

The planned framework covers a broad range of property consultancy disciplines, so it may suit specialist firms in areas such as lifts, building surveying, structural engineering, fire safety, building services, energy, damp and mould, or quantity surveying, as well as multidisciplinary consultancies. Saxon Weald is seeking market input to shape the procurement strategy and lot structure, giving suppliers a chance to describe their service offer and operating footprint before the tender is developed. For this engagement, the buyer asks suppliers to outline their professional indemnity insurance level and office locations in Sussex, alongside their services and organisation contact details. The identified lot is considered suitable for SMEs. The engagement request does not set out particular accreditations or minimum capacity and experience thresholds.
