Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council commissioned lease consultancy for Sharps Bedrooms’ premises at Plot 3, Springvale Business Park, Springvale Avenue, Bilston. The work concerned representing the council in negotiations with Sharps Bedrooms Limited to agree an increase in rent. This is property and lease advisory work, covering building consultancy, building services consultancy and building surveying. The site is in Bilston, in the West Midlands. The requirement was for professional advice and negotiation on the lease rent, rather than construction or the supply of building materials.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Neaves Lease Consultancy Limited was awarded the work, and the contract is active and signed. The contract period runs from 24 June 2026 to 2 December 2026. Its gross value is £48,960. The stated rent was agreed to increase to £1,360,000 per year from the former rent of £952,000 per year, effective 24 June 2026. The procurement was described as below threshold; the recorded method is unknown. It was treated as a single lot. The published information does not state an evaluation formula or eligibility conditions.

This award shows Portsmouth City Council’s demand for specialist lease consultancy to represent it in negotiations with a commercial tenant over rent at a business park property. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need demonstrable experience advising landlords or public bodies on commercial leases, assessing rental terms and negotiating rent changes with tenants. Relevant capability includes property and building consultancy or surveying expertise, alongside the commercial judgement to support a rent agreement and represent the client’s interests. The award went to a small consultancy, indicating that this requirement was delivered by a specialist firm rather than a large multidisciplinary supplier. The work is focused on lease and rent advice for the council’s property interests, not general construction delivery.
