UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority procured building surveying services to carry out stock condition surveys across its estate. The work supports the authority’s assessment of the condition of its buildings and property assets. Delivery is in Tyne and Wear, England. The requirement was handled through the Crown Commercial Service Estate Management Services 2 framework, under its surveying and strategic advice lot, with a further competition among framework suppliers. This is a property surveying commission for suppliers able to inspect and assess a public-sector estate, rather than a general building maintenance or construction contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ridge and Partners LLP. The authority used a competitive further competition under an existing framework, through a selective, below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 10 August to 31 October 2026. Its value is £33,349 excluding VAT (£40,018.80 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the stock condition surveys. The process was evaluated through competition, but the published details do not set out the specific award criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For firms that missed out, this award demonstrates demand from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority for surveying the condition of its estate, at a relatively small, short-duration commission scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need building surveying capability suited to inspecting a public-sector property portfolio and producing stock condition assessments. Experience planning and delivering surveys across multiple buildings would be commercially relevant to this scope. The buying route also matters: the authority used the Crown Commercial Service Estate Management Services 2 framework, specifically the surveying and strategic advice lot, and ran a further competition. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would therefore need access to that framework route, or to monitor how the authority procures similar surveys through an eligible arrangement.
