## Summary

Coventry City Council has procured engineering inspection services for its property portfolio in Coventry. The work covers schools, operational buildings and other Council facilities, with inspections of plant and equipment. The supplier is required to carry out statutory inspections, produce inspection reports and certification, identify defects and non-compliance, and support the Council in meeting legal and safety requirements. This is technical building and engineering inspection work, including inspection of engineering structures (CPV 71631300 and 71631400). The requirement brings together recurring inspection activity and follow-up reporting across a varied public-sector estate. It is suited to firms whose core service is engineering inspection and whose teams can work across building types and equipment, rather than suppliers offering unrelated facilities or maintenance services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Ashdale Engineering UK Ltd. Coventry City Council used a selective route to award a call-off under a framework; the award date was 26 October 2026. The award value is £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with provision for two 12-month extensions by mutual agreement, up to 30 November 2030. The process was divided into one lot, covering the engineering inspection requirement. The published information does not state the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the basis for selection beyond the framework call-off route cannot be described.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for statutory engineering inspections across a mixed council estate, including schools and operational buildings. A credible competitor would need practical capability to inspect plant, equipment and engineering structures across multiple sites, and to deliver clear inspection reports and certification. The work also calls for the ability to identify defects and non-compliance and to support the client’s ongoing legal and safety compliance, so inspection expertise must be matched by dependable reporting and follow-up. The scale is a multi-year, estate-wide service rather than a single-site inspection. Ashdale Engineering UK Ltd, an SME, was selected through a framework call-off; suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to compete through an appropriate framework route.
