## Summary

Sunderland City Council intends to procure property and facilities management services for City Hall and The Beam in Sunderland. The work is described as management of the two properties, covering commercial property management and facilities management (CPV 70332200 and 79993100). The listed delivery location is Sunderland, England. This is a single service requirement for both buildings, rather than separate lots. The council is seeking suppliers able to manage property and facilities for public-sector buildings; the stated scope does not break the work into particular operational tasks or service outputs. This process is at the planning stage: the council has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender.

The procurement is at planning and the council has undertaken preliminary market engagement. It expects the contract to run from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with an extension option that could take the period to 30 June 2032. The stated tender value is £0, so this figure does not provide a usable estimate of contract size. The buyer has not stated an expected procedure, procurement method, evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions. The engagement questionnaire was requested by 12 noon on 28 October 2026; this was a market-engagement response date, not a tender submission deadline. The requirement is a single lot covering City Hall and The Beam, with the council indicating that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The requirement may suit property and facilities management firms able to deliver services across two city-centre buildings under one contract, including suppliers with experience of commercial property management and facilities operations. Sunderland City Council has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable, so the requirement is not expressly limited to large providers. The planned multi-year service period, with a possible extension, may favour businesses able to sustain consistent management over time and plan for continuity across both sites. Suppliers can use the preliminary market-engagement stage to understand the council’s intended requirement and inform their preparation. The current scope identifies the buildings and broad service categories but does not describe specific technical capabilities, accreditations, staffing levels or past-performance thresholds; businesses should assess fit against the eventual detailed specification when it is published.
