UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Borough Council commissioned condition surveying services for its housing stock. The work supports the Council’s assurance to the Housing Regulator that every home has a stock condition survey. The service is surveying work (CPV 71355000), delivered in the North East of England. The requirement is focused on assessing housing condition across the Council’s stock, rather than on general building surveying. This gives relevant firms a clear indication of the buyer’s need: surveying capacity to help establish or maintain a complete picture of housing condition for regulatory assurance.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to BUILDING SURVEYORS LIMITED. The Council used a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026, runs from 1 July to 31 October 2026, and is valued at £170,000 including VAT. There was one lot, covering condition surveying services. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria; the award outcome and route are stated here without inferring a competitive scoring basis.

For firms assessing future demand from Gateshead Borough Council, this contract demonstrates a requirement for housing stock condition surveys at a defined, focused scale. A credible competitor would need the surveying expertise, staff capacity and delivery management to assess housing stock systematically and provide the evidence needed for regulatory assurance. The work was bought directly without competition, so suppliers should note that this particular procurement did not test bids against published evaluation criteria. Building a relevant track record in housing condition surveys and demonstrating the ability to complete a substantial programme within a short delivery window would be pertinent to a future requirement from this buyer.
