## Summary

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority commissioned property valuation services for its 2025–2026 requirements. The work is categorised as building consultancy services and concerns valuations of the Authority’s property. Delivery is in Essex. The requirement was procured as a single lot, covering the valuation service as a whole. This is a specialist professional-services requirement for suppliers able to undertake property valuations for a public-sector fire and rescue authority. The Authority is the buyer and contracting organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Lambert Smith Hampton. It was run through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 4 February 2026 and runs from 6 February to 4 August 2026. Its value is £34,000 excluding VAT (£40,800 including VAT). The award is active and relates to the sole lot. The available process information establishes the selected supplier and contract outcome; no evaluation criteria are recorded here.

For firms competing for similar work from this Authority, this award demonstrates demand for property valuation expertise delivered as building consultancy services through a limited competition. A credible competitor would need to show professional capability in valuing the Authority’s property and the capacity to complete a defined, time-limited commission. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that an established professional-services provider has delivered this requirement. Firms with relevant valuation experience and the ability to serve public-sector clients in Essex are closest to the demonstrated need. The commission is a focused single-lot service rather than a broad estate-management or construction contract.
