Quantity Surveying Tenders and Contracts

A quantity surveying contract can cover cost estimation, tendering support, valuation of works and contract administration. Some notices bundle quantity surveying with wider construction consultancy services such as project management or cost advice.

Stotles brings together quantity surveying tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. NHS trusts often call off the healthcare planning and construction consultancy framework, and housing and estates consultancy frameworks put quantity surveying in its own lot.

Quantity surveying tenders are scored on team experience, cost management approach, sector track record, resourcing and fees. Consultancy frameworks run for several years, so a framework place opens up repeat appointments.

Quantity surveyors are usually expected to be RICS chartered or regulated, and consultants carry duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. Tenders usually set minimum professional indemnity insurance, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar commissions at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Public bodies award quantity surveying tenders through open competition or as call-offs from existing frameworks. Some appoint a quantity surveyor as part of a wider multi-disciplinary design team alongside architects and engineers.

NHS trusts, local councils and housing associations are regular buyers of quantity surveying services. Universities and government departments also appoint quantity surveyors for capital projects.

Read capital programmes, housing development pipelines, estates strategies and early market engagement notices for consultancy panels, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
