UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton Solent University commissioned onsite technical due diligence surveys and reports for its residential property portfolio, in connection with a potential sale. The work covers architectural and building surveying, including visiting the properties and preparing and submitting technical due diligence reports. Delivery is in Southampton, England. The requirement concerns the university’s residential portfolio rather than general surveying services, and is intended to inform a possible property sale.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Kingswood Real Estate Advisory Limited. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 10 October to 11 November 2026. Its value is £52,920 excluding VAT (£63,505 including VAT). The requirement was procured below the applicable threshold. It was a single-lot service contract. The published details do not set out an evaluation basis or eligibility requirements.

This award shows that Southampton Solent University used a specialist real estate advisory firm to carry out onsite due diligence and report on residential property ahead of a potential sale. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need the ability to inspect residential buildings and produce clear, technically robust due diligence reports suitable for informing a property transaction. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this scale of advisory commission can be delivered by an SME. Firms with relevant building-surveying expertise, experience assessing residential portfolios, and capacity to complete site visits and reporting within a short commission would be well placed when this buyer next needs comparable advice.
