## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council commissioned structural engineering and related professional services for housing management, through the Fusion21 Construction and Consultancy Framework. The work sits within engineering and construction consultancy services and is intended to support the Council’s housing management activity. Delivery is in England. The procurement is for services, rather than construction works or the supply of goods. The title and description indicate a structural engineering requirement, while “etc” leaves the precise range of related services broad; the stated purpose is the Council’s housing management needs.

The procurement has been awarded and is recorded as complete. Ridge and Partners LLP was selected, with an award value of £200,000. The award date was 5 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 October 2029. The Council used an open procedure through the Fusion21 framework’s construction and consultancy services route. The estimated procurement value was also £200,000. The tender deadline was 5 October 2026. No lots, detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are set out in the available process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council for structural engineering and related consultancy to support housing management, sourced through the Fusion21 Construction and Consultancy Framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide structural engineering expertise and the capacity to support the Council’s housing-related work over a multi-year contract. The selected supplier, Ridge and Partners LLP, is recorded as a large organisation, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Those signals suggest a supplier should assess whether it can meet the buyer’s scale and framework-route requirements before pursuing comparable work for this Council.
