Real Estate Contracts and Tenders

Real estate procurement covers property valuation, letting and estate agency services, and commercial property advisory work bought by public bodies. Construction and property maintenance are separate categories.

Stotles brings together property and real estate 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. Property valuation and agency services are often called off from frameworks, so some opportunities reach only firms already on them.

Property tenders are scored on market knowledge, the team's qualifications and experience, approach to the commission and fees. Buyers often appoint advisers through frameworks or panels, so getting listed is the main route to repeat instructions.

Valuations for public bodies are expected to be carried out by RICS registered valuers to the RICS Valuation Global Standards, and estate agency work must comply with the Estate Agents Act 1979. Tenders usually set minimum professional indemnity insurance and ask for evidence of similar instructions at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

The Crown Commercial Service Estate Management Services framework is a common route for property valuation, estate agency and property advisory work. Councils, universities, police forces, fire and rescue services, a combined authority and central government bodies call off from it, by direct award or further competition, for asset and housing stock valuations, the sale of surplus buildings and commercial property advice.

The ESPO Estates Management Professional Services framework covers fixed asset valuations and general valuation services, and councils call off from it to commission valuations for their financial statements.

Councils commission valuations for financial accounting, regeneration schemes and asset disposals. Housing associations and executives, including the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, run large valuation frameworks split by region. Central government bodies and their agencies use commercial property agency services to manage or dispose of surplus estate.

Read asset management plans, disposal and regeneration programmes, valuation cycles and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show real estate 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.

Real estate notices carry 70300000 (Real estate agency services on a fee or contract basis) and the broader 70000000 (Real estate services).
