## Summary

Nottingham City Council is seeking an agency to carry out property valuations for tenants applying to buy their homes through the Right to Buy scheme. The work is valuation consultancy, covering both flats and houses and the full range of services set out in the specification. The council is the buyer. Valuations are for properties in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The council notes that local government reorganisation may change governance, boundaries or service delivery arrangements, potentially affecting how the contract is managed; suppliers should be prepared for organisational arrangements to adapt.

The council invited offers through an open procedure for a single-lot framework agreement, with contracts awarded without reopening competition. The enquiry deadline was 29 October 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 5 November 2026 at 12:00. The stated award decision date was 7 December 2026. The initial contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 13 December 2028, with two possible one-year extensions at the council’s discretion, to a maximum end date of 13 December 2030. Estimated value is £297,000 excluding VAT (£356,400 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 50% quality, 40% price and 10% social value. Price scoring compares each valuation type’s price with the lowest submitted price; flats carry 10% and houses 30% in the fee proposal.

This opportunity suits qualified and experienced property valuation agencies able to assess homes under the Right to Buy scheme. Suppliers need the capability and capacity to value both flats and houses and to cover the complete scope of services in the specification. The buyer identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bidders should build a fee proposal around a price per valuation, covering the full range of required work; the stated weighting gives houses a larger share than flats. Quality and social value together account for most of the evaluation, so relevant valuation expertise, reliable service delivery and a credible social-value offer will matter alongside competitive pricing. The work may require flexibility if local government reorganisation changes service arrangements.

## Notice

Nottingham City Council is looking to procure a suitably qualified and experienced agency to carry out Right to Buy valuations on properties subject to applications via the Right to Buy scheme submitted by tenants of Nottingham City Council. Full details of the scope of service can be located in the contract specification within this tender pack. During the anticipated contract period, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire may be subject to Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), a national programme led by central government to restructure two-tier authorities into single unitary councils. This process involves Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, the district/borough councils, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, and may lead to changes in governance, boundaries and service delivery arrangements that could affect this contract. Tenderers should therefore note that organisational and contractual arrangements may need to adapt in line with any LGR implementation.
