Contracts
Surveying, architecture & engineering
Public sector contract notices in surveying, architecture & engineering, from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.
Professional and technical services for the built environment: CPV division 71. Architecture, engineering design across every discipline, quantity surveying and cost consultancy, building and condition surveys, project management, site supervision, and testing and inspection.
Consultancy is one of the few parts of public procurement where a very small practice competes on equal terms, because what is being bought is named people and their record rather than capacity. Expect the tender to ask for relevant project examples, the CVs of the people who would actually do the work, and professional indemnity insurance at a stated level. Multi-discipline commissions are frequently lotted by discipline, so read the lot structure before deciding a commission is too large.
