Requirements
- Professional qualified surveyor or valuation firm (likely RICS-registered or equivalent professional body membership)
- Experience in land valuation and acquisition advice
- Ability to provide independent professional opinion on property value
- Professional indemnity insurance (standard for surveyors/valuers)
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents for detailed qualifications, insurance limits, and experience thresholds
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Conduct a professional valuation of the Hayden Land site at Northstowe
- Provide written property advice on the land acquisition opportunity
- Assess market value and advise on purchase decision-making
- Deliver a formal valuation report suitable for government decision-making
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a straightforward professional services contract, not construction or supply. Read it differently — focus on scope of works, reporting deadlines, and what decisions your valuation will inform.
- 2Check the tender documents for: the exact site location and size, what type of valuation is needed (e.g. market value, development potential), and who will sign off your work.
- 3Watch for deadlines — government land acquisitions often have tight timescales. Your valuation may block or enable a larger project, so turnaround time matters.
- 4Look for 'assumptions' you need to state in your report — soil conditions, planning status, access rights — these affect your fee and liability.
- 5Understand if this is a one-off valuation or includes follow-up advice if negotiations proceed.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small surveying practice, check whether you can partner with a larger firm or act as a sub-consultant. Government often uses established practices for acquisition advice, so teaming up may be smarter than bidding alone.
- Professional indemnity insurance and RICS membership are non-negotiable — factor these costs in before bidding. Confirm your insurance covers the likely valuation amount.
- Include in your bid timeline and methodology: site visit, comparable evidence gathering, and report writing. Government values transparency on how you'll reach your valuation, not just the final number.
