## Summary

City of York Council procured specialist NEC contract advisory support. This is a professional services requirement focused on advising on NEC contracts in an engineering and construction context, covering engineering services and construction-related services. The work is for the council’s contracting and infrastructure activity, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a single service package rather than being divided into multiple competing workstreams. It will suit firms that provide specialist NEC contract advice, particularly those able to support a public-sector client with construction and engineering procurement, contract administration or commercial management. The selected supplier, ST GROUP LTD, is a Lincoln-based small business, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist SME rather than only by a large national consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. City of York Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to ST GROUP LTD on 28 August 2026 and signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 28 May 2027. Its value is £48,500 excluding VAT and £58,200 including VAT. The award covers the single service package for specialist NEC contract advisory support, classified under engineering services and construction-related services. The outcome indicates a focused, low-value appointment made without a tender competition, rather than a multi-lot framework or open market exercise. The contract remains active during its stated delivery period.

This award provides a clear example of demand from City of York Council for specialist NEC contract advisory support linked to engineering and construction services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in NEC contracts and the ability to advise on construction-related commercial and contractual issues. Relevant firms are likely to combine contract interpretation with practical engineering or construction-sector knowledge, enabling them to support a public authority through the management of specialist works and services. The appointment also indicates that an SME-scale specialist can satisfy this type of council requirement. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide focused senior advice, work effectively with public-sector contract and project teams, and show experience of applying NEC principles in comparable engineering or construction environments.
