## Summary

The procurement process for the "Building Safety Consultancy Phase 2" contract was conducted by Southampton City Council, a regional or local authority based in the United Kingdom. This contract falls under the services category, specifically focused on structural engineering consultancy services, and is located in the region UKJ32. Marking the completion stage, this direct award contract valued at £360,000 was signed on 22nd December 2025 without prior publication of a call for competition. The process was expedited because of an existing relationship with the contractor, substantial similarities to prior projects, and urgency that made it impractical to conduct a mini-competition. The supporting framework for this contract will remain valid until 2nd September 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms in the structural engineering consultancy sector, particularly those with pre-existing relationships within the public sector or relevant project experience. SMEs, like the awarded supplier firntec Ltd, based in Plymouth, Devon, could leverage their expertise and prior engagements to secure such contracts. The nature of the direct award suggests the importance of building relationships and specialising in urgent, niche consultancy services within regional frameworks to enhance business growth potential.
