Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council commissioned building condition surveys across 35 institutions and 36 school sites in Herefordshire. The work covers sites with multiple buildings, including temporary classrooms and outbuildings, and requires a surveying consultancy to assess the condition of the school estate. The requirement is building consultancy services (CPV 71315200), with delivery across Herefordshire. The council is the buyer and the surveys are intended to provide condition information for its school properties.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Pick Everard. The contract is active and was signed on 13 April 2026, with an awarded value of £75,976. The award date is not stated in the published process data. Herefordshire Council used a limited procedure without a prior published call for competition, running a further competition under the Procure Partnerships PCR2015 Professional Services Framework following shortlisting. Six bids were received. Evaluation placed 48% on price, 40% on delivery and implementation, and 12% on social value. The requirement was treated as one lot; that lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award shows demand from Herefordshire Council for a surveying practice able to assess a dispersed school estate, including multiple buildings at some sites and temporary classrooms and outbuildings. A credible competitor would need the capacity to coordinate surveys across numerous institutions and sites, and the practical surveying capability to produce condition assessments consistently across varied school buildings. The evaluation also shows that delivery and implementation carry substantial weight alongside price, with social value forming part of the assessment. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that a smaller consultancy can deliver this scale of requirement. For a future competition for the same school condition-survey work, relevant estate-survey experience, a workable multi-site delivery plan and a competitive price would be important strengths.
