## Summary

Sunderland City Council commissioned building consultancy services for three linked elements of its development programme: independent monitoring surveying for a Phase 1 residential development, cost management for Southern Public Realm Works, and cost management for Sheepfolds initial infrastructure works. The procurement was titled Cost Consultancy and the work is delivered in Sunderland. It covers professional advice and oversight of construction costs and development expenditure across residential, public-realm and infrastructure projects. The requirement was treated as a services contract and relates to the building consultancy category. The selected supplier, Identity Consult Limited, is based in Sunderland and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Identity Consult Limited. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 for £108,100, with Sunderland City Council as the buyer. It was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, by direct call-off from the existing NEPO212 framework. The single lot used price as its award criterion. One bid was received, and it was submitted electronically by an SME. The award relates to cost consultancy for the residential monitoring, public-realm cost management and Sheepfolds infrastructure works. The contracting process is recorded as covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Sunderland City Council for a consultancy able to combine independent monitoring surveying with cost management across several construction workstreams. A credible future supplier would need practical experience of residential development monitoring, public-realm works and early infrastructure projects, together with the capacity to manage cost information consistently across projects at different stages. The route also shows the value of access to the NEPO212 framework and readiness for direct call-off arrangements. Price was the stated basis for selection, so firms would need a competitive, clearly structured commercial offer alongside evidence that they can provide independent advice, reliable cost control and proportionate delivery as an SME or larger consultancy.
