Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited commissioned structural engineering consultancy to support building safety cases across its housing stock. The work covers peer review of existing structural information and building safety cases, structural surveys and hazard assessments, review of responses to the Building Safety Regulator, desktop and site reviews, and peer review of data from new-build operation and maintenance information. Delivery is across England, from the North East and North West through the Midlands, East and South of England, London and the South West. This is a specialist professional services requirement combining structural engineering expertise with building safety case work and both document-based and on-site assessment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Bureau Veritas UK Limited. The Guinness Partnership used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2028. Its value is £166,670 excluding VAT (£200,000 including VAT). The process was structured as a single lot. The published information describes the consultancy tasks but gives no scored evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements. The award is active and the contract is active.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from The Guinness Partnership, credibility depends on demonstrable structural engineering consultancy capability spanning building safety cases, structural data review, surveys and hazard assessments. Providers need to be able to scrutinise existing information and new-build operation and maintenance data, review responses to the Building Safety Regulator, and undertake both desktop and site reviews across a broad English delivery area. The scope suggests a need to combine technical review skills with practical inspection capacity and the ability to support the buyer across multiple regions. Bureau Veritas UK Limited, a large supplier, won this single-lot contract through a direct award, so this outcome provides evidence of the type of specialist service and established provider selected for the requirement.
