## Summary

Torus Group procured professional property and construction consultancy services covering contract administration, quantity surveying and principal designer responsibilities. The requirement is primarily quantity surveying and forms part of the services category. The appointed consultant will support Torus Group’s projects across the North West of England. Contract administration involves managing contractual processes and project information; quantity surveying covers cost management and commercial oversight; and principal designer services address design-stage coordination and associated health and safety responsibilities. This is therefore relevant to multidisciplinary consultancies, quantity surveyors, construction cost managers and design or project management practices able to combine commercial administration with principal designer capability. The buyer is Torus Group, based in St Helens.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 March 2026 to DREES & SOMMER UK LIMITED. The awarded contract value is £241,500, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender submission deadline was 20 March 2026. It was a tender for services, evaluated through the procurement route recorded for the process, with the requirement treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier was selected for the full requirement. The award is active. The work is delivered across the North West, while Torus Group’s stated buying location is St Helens. The procurement’s classification is quantity surveying services (CPV 71324000).

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a sustained requirement from Torus Group for integrated construction consultancy rather than a single-discipline cost service. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable strength in quantity surveying, contract administration and principal designer duties, with the ability to coordinate these functions across the buyer’s project portfolio. The stated procurement outcome also indicates that Torus Group selected a large supplier, so competing organisations would need sufficient professional capacity, management depth and resilience to deliver the combined brief. Firms with established construction, property and design-management teams may be best placed to evidence the necessary technical coverage. The opportunity is particularly relevant to consultancies able to manage commercial control and design-stage responsibilities within one service offering.
