## Summary

The Royal Berkshire Fire Authority has completed the procurement process for "Provision for Property Valuation and Re-Instatement Costs", a service necessary for valuing its property portfolio in compliance with RICS Valuation Standards. This contract, awarded to Bruton Knowles Limited, will be in effect from 5th March 2026 to 28th February 2029, covering a range of property assessments including fire stations and investment properties. With an overall contract value of £60,000, the procurement was conducted using a limited competition method under the threshold of £100k, symbolising efficient budget management within regulatory standards. The primary location of impact is in Reading, United Kingdom, under the non-residential property services category.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in property valuation and management services due to its adherence to stringent valuation criteria and the requirement for ongoing property assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) familiar with the latest RICS standards are ideally positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future, especially those with expertise in public sector collaborations. Engaging in such contracts can significantly enhance a company's portfolio, build credentials within the public sector, and establish lasting professional relationships with government bodies such as the Royal Berkshire Fire Authority.
