UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Library Board bought valuation services for its property and assets, within the broader field of surveying services (CPV 71250000). The requirement supports the Library’s five-yearly valuation programme, with the option to commission additional ad hoc or supplementary valuation work. The contract covers delivery in the United Kingdom. The Library is the buyer; the selected supplier is Savills (UK) Limited. This is a single-lot service requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. Its recurring valuation needs and potential for additional assignments make relevant experience in professional valuation and surveying central to the scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Savills (UK) Limited. The award date was 12 October 2026. The award value is £123,165 excluding VAT (£147,798 including VAT). The contract period runs from 15 November 2026 to 24 January 2031, with a possible single extension of up to nine years, subject to continuing need, satisfactory performance, value for money, funding and internal approval. Additional valuation services may be commissioned during the contract, subject to written authorisation and agreement on scope, deliverables and estimated cost; no minimum volume or value is guaranteed. The Library used a competitive award under a framework agreement. The requirement was awarded as one lot.

For firms that did not win, this award shows that the British Library buys professional valuation services to support a recurring, five-yearly assessment programme, with scope for additional ad hoc work. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need established valuation and surveying expertise, the capacity to deliver the core programme and supplementary assignments, and the ability to provide agreed deliverables at controlled cost. The chosen route was a competitive award under a framework, so suppliers would need access to a relevant framework and the ability to compete through its process. Savills, a large supplier, was selected; this indicates the scale of provider that secured this award, though the procurement does not state a specific accreditation or technical qualification requirement.
