## Summary

Lancaster City Council commissioned building surveying and structural engineering consultancy services for Centenary House on Regent Road, Morecambe. The work covers reviewing existing condition surveys and specialist reports, inspecting the property and producing a prioritised remediation strategy. The former Co-operative department store is a largely vacant five-storey building, including a basement, ground, first, second and partial third floor or dormer level, with approximately 2,583–2,700 square metres of gross internal area. Part of the ground floor remains occupied by a retail tenant. The wider purpose is to support repair and remediation so the building can be converted and redeveloped as affordable housing by a Registered Provider or housing association. The appointed surveyor acts as lead designer for the proposed works.

This below-threshold limited competition has completed and one supplier was selected. (ACS) Blackburn received the award on 7 September 2026. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £7,700 excluding VAT, or £9,240 including VAT. The procurement covered one lot and used a limited competition. The requirement was evaluated through the need for suitably qualified and experienced building surveyors, with the selected service classified as structural engineering consultancy. The active contract is with (ACS) Blackburn, an SME. The council’s remediation budget is approximately £450,000, funded through Brownfield Land Release Fund grant support, and the appointed consultant is expected to prioritise works affecting redevelopment viability.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Lancaster City Council for a building surveyor able to turn a substantial existing evidence base into a practical remediation plan for an ageing, largely vacant property. A credible future competitor would need experience reviewing condition surveys, investigations and specialist reports; carrying out inspections of complex multi-storey buildings; identifying and prioritising defects; and developing repair solutions within a constrained remediation budget. The role also requires the technical capability to act as lead designer for building repair and remediation works, linking surveying advice to redevelopment and affordable-housing objectives. Firms with building surveying and structural engineering consultancy capability, relevant project experience and sufficient capacity to coordinate multiple technical inputs would be well placed when this type of requirement returns to the council.

## Notice

Lancaster City Council is seeking quotations from suitably qualified and experienced Building Surveyors to review existing condition surveys and undertake a site inspection of Centenary House, Regent Road, Morecambe. Centenary House is a former Co-operative department store located in Morecambe's West End. The property comprises a largely vacant five-storey building (basement, ground, first, second and partial third floor/dormer level) extending to approximately 2,583-2,700 sq m Gross Internal Area. The building has been largely vacant for over 30 years, with part of the ground floor occupied by a retail tenant. The Council's longer-term objective is to dispose of the building to a Registered Provider/Housing Association for conversion and redevelopment as affordable housing. The Council has secured Brownfield Land Release Fund (BLRF) grant funding to address abnormal development costs that currently affect the viability of redevelopment. The available budget for the remediation works is approximately PS450,000, meaning prioritisation of works is essential. The Council has commissioned a significant programme of surveys, investigations and specialist reports. Whilst these reports identify defects and suggest remedial actions, the Council now requires a Building Surveyor to review all available information, inspect the property and develop a prioritised remediation strategy. The appointed Building Surveyor will effectively act as the lead designer for the proposed repair and remediation works.
