UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited procured employer’s agent services for its City Place development in Chester. The work is construction consultancy, supporting the employer’s interests in the development. The named project and location identify a specific housing development requirement rather than a general consultancy commission. The contract was awarded to Zerum Consult Limited, a Manchester-based consultancy. The procurement concerns professional services associated with delivering City Place; the published scope does not break the work down into particular tasks or deliverables.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Clarion awarded the single-lot contract directly to Zerum Consult Limited without competition, using a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and runs from 7 October 2026 to 29 February 2028. Its gross value is £114,600. The award date is not separately stated. No evaluation basis is recorded; the route was direct award without competition, rather than a competed evaluation. This is the outcome of the process, not an invitation to submit a bid.

For a future City Place-style requirement, a credible competitor would need to provide employer’s agent services for a housing development and demonstrate construction consultancy capability relevant to the client-side role. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that a supplier with the capacity to support a substantial development may be well placed. The procurement was made directly without competition, so competing suppliers should also understand that this buyer used a non-competed route for this particular commission. The work is project-specific in Chester and concerns housing development rather than construction consultancy in general. Relevant experience would therefore need to show delivery of employer’s agent support for comparable development projects.
