## Summary

Northumberland County Council commissioned an independent appraisal of the investment strategy prepared for Manor Walks. The work is a professional financial consultancy service involving a critical, independent review of the proposed property investment approach. It is intended to provide objective challenge and appraisal of the strategy rather than to deliver construction, property management or general financial advice. The buying organisation is Northumberland County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Morpeth. The awarded service is associated with Northumberland, with delivery in the council’s area. This requirement will suit firms providing independent property investment appraisal, financial consultancy and strategic review services for public-sector or commercial property assets.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Savills (UK) Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 November 2025, with a service period from 1 December 2025 to 31 March 2026. The awarded contract value is £40,000 gross, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement had one completed lot covering the independent appraisal for the property review. The stated subject classification is financial consultancy services. The process was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome reflects a single selected supplier and does not provide a comparison of competing bids.

This procurement indicates demand from Northumberland County Council for specialist, independent challenge of property investment strategies, particularly where a commercial asset such as Manor Walks is under review. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable expertise in property investment appraisal, financial modelling, investment strategy review and critical assessment of assumptions, risks and expected returns. Independence and the ability to provide objective advice would be central to the requirement. Relevant firms are likely to be established property consultancies or financial advisers with experience assessing retail or other commercial property investments for public-sector clients. The work also favours suppliers able to turn complex investment analysis into clear, defensible advice for a local authority decision-making process.
