UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton intends to procure business rating services: property valuation work relating to business rates. It plans to appoint a registered firm of Chartered Valuation Surveyors through a further competition under the Government Commercial Agency’s Estate Management Services Framework. The work is for the council and is described as covering delivery across England’s regions, including London. The procurement sits within property management services. This is an early-stage description of the intended requirement, rather than an invitation to tender; the council has not yet set out a more detailed breakdown of the valuation tasks.

The process is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to run a further competition under the existing estate management framework, rather than inviting bids through this process now. The intended contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 30 March 2030. The council recorded market engagement as completed on 12 October 2026. No procurement timetable beyond the contract period is set out. The requirement is presented as a single lot. No estimated contract value or budget is stated. The planned competition is for the framework’s business rating services category; no evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility conditions are stated at this stage.

The work is suited to a registered firm of Chartered Valuation Surveyors with the professional capability to deliver business rating services. Suppliers should consider whether they are appointed to the relevant Government Commercial Agency estate management framework, as the council intends to run a further competition through it. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses of those types may be relevant where they meet the professional and framework requirements. This is a preparation opportunity, not a request for bids. Firms can use the planning stage to assess their fit for business-rating work delivered across England and prepare for the later competition.
