## Summary

Portsmouth City Council commissioned a third-party assurance review connected with a regulatory judgement. The requirement is a professional services assignment involving building services consultancy, focused on providing independent assurance to support the council’s regulatory position. The work is for Portsmouth City Council, a local public authority, and delivery is in Portsmouth. The procurement covered one requirement rather than a package of separate services. The appointed provider is Campbell Tickell Limited, an SME consultancy based in Colindale. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies that undertake independent assurance reviews, regulatory judgement support or specialist building services consultancy for public-sector clients. It may also suit firms able to combine technical building-services knowledge with clear, evidence-based review and reporting for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Portsmouth City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Campbell Tickell Limited was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 9 March 2026 and runs from 23 March 2026 to 23 September 2026. Its gross value is £43,557. The procurement was treated as below threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one completed lot. The route used means suppliers were not evaluated through a competitive tender for this requirement; the commercial outcome was a direct appointment under the below-threshold, without-competition method. The contract is for services rather than goods or construction works.

This award demonstrates demand from Portsmouth City Council for external assurance linked to regulatory judgement and building services. A competitor seeking similar work would need credible experience in independent third-party reviews for public authorities, with the ability to assess evidence, identify issues and produce defensible findings for regulatory purposes. Building-services consultancy capability is relevant, particularly where assurance depends on understanding the condition, management or compliance of council assets. Strong written reporting, senior stakeholder engagement and the ability to work independently would support credibility. As the appointed supplier is an SME consultancy, the requirement also indicates that this scale of specialist advisory work can be delivered by a focused practice rather than only by a large multidisciplinary firm. Firms with complementary technical and regulatory assurance expertise could be well placed for comparable future requirements from this buyer.
