This procurement falls under the industry category of sales and purchases recording services and is focused on the real estate market. The contract was awarded to Connells Residential and will facilitate the disposal of Council-owned domestic properties, with the aim of modernising the housing portfolio.

The tender was in the award stage as of 3 February 2025, with the Council planning to sell between 30 to 60 properties annually and valuing the contract at £90,000.

This contract presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in real estate services, particularly those experienced in handling large-scale property sales. Estate agents with expertise in property valuation, online marketing, and professional client representation will find this contract particularly relevant. The successful business will be responsible for a comprehensive range of services including property valuation, instruction, and selling, thus ensuring a steady stream of work and revenue. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, aligning with the Council's suitability criteria for this tender.

## Notice

Central Bedfordshire Council is planning to increase the number of property disposals as part of a strategic approach to modernising the property portfolio through reinvestment in more modern, warmer and energy efficient homes. The Housing Service requires a professional 'Estate Agency' service to help sell the required properties. The plan is to dispose of between 30 to 60 properties each year, although this could increase. To demonstrate the potential value of the contract, a typical cost of 1% of the sales price, with an average of PS250,000/property, results in fees of PS2,500. For 30 disposals, the total value is PS75,000. We require the complete services of an estate agent to sell Council owned domestic properties. The service should include the following: * Valuation - we require the property to be visited within three working days of request, for a valuation of the property and an explanation of how the valuation was arrived at, including a best price guide. The valuation and other appropriate advice concerning the proposed sale, must be in writing to enable the Council to consider the sales approach. The visit will normally be accompanied with a Council Officer but may be unaccompanied using a key safe. * Instruction - where the valuation is agreed/approved, the sale of the property will be confirmed through instruction. * Selling - once instructed, we require the property to be advertised online via Rightmove, Zoopla, and everywhere else buyers look. We require that you host viewings on behalf of the Council, and that you always act professionally on behalf of the Council. We require you to take and consider offers made, putting offers to the Council along with advice and/or recommendations concerning the offer. Where appropriate, you should negotiate the best price (all with our approval). Please confirm your fee basis, i.e. whether you charge a percentage of the agreed sale price and if so, what percentage you charge. Alternatively, please confirm whether you charge a fixed fee for a completed property sale, and what that fee would be.
