Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council commissioned quantity surveying, cost management, commercial management and cost consultancy for its Terminal Annex defects and dispute resolution project. The work concerns building consultancy and surveying services, focused on managing costs and commercial matters associated with defects and resolving the related dispute. Delivery is in Portsmouth, Hampshire. This is a specialist professional-services requirement rather than construction work: the appointed consultant provides surveying and commercial expertise in support of the council’s project. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering the requirement as one package.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Portsmouth City Council selected Gleeds Cost Management Limited. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2027. Its value is £60,000 including VAT. The procurement was described as below threshold; the available process details do not identify a more specific procedure or explain the evaluation criteria. The requirement was handled as a single lot. The contract covers quantity surveying, cost management, commercial management and cost consultancy relating to the Terminal Annex defects and dispute resolution project.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to combine quantity surveying with cost management, commercial management and cost consultancy, and be able to apply those capabilities to building defects and dispute resolution. The award demonstrates that Portsmouth City Council buys this expertise as a single, integrated professional-services package, rather than separating the surveying and commercial functions into distinct lots. Suppliers with experience advising on building consultancy and surveying matters, managing project costs and supporting the commercial resolution of defects disputes would therefore be well placed to compete. The selected firm is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this specialist council requirement was delivered by an SME-sized supplier.
