In plain English

North Lanarkshire Council wants to hire a qualified building surveyor to inspect 672 of their buildings (offices, retail, industrial, and business centres) and report on their physical condition, defects, safety risks, and maintenance needs. The survey will create a dataset to plan future repairs and investments across their property portfolio.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out visual condition surveys of 672 properties (4 business centres, 28 offices, 233 retail, 402 industrial, 5 miscellaneous) following RICS building surveying standards • Identify defects, risks, statutory compliance issues, and provide life expectancy assessments for each building • Provide prioritised maintenance actions with 5-year cost estimates (year 1 being most urgent) • Deliver findings using mandatory standards including RICS standards, PFI Asset Condition Playbook, and NRM cost estimation methodology

Requirements

Named in the buyer's notice:

What could rule a small business out: You must be a RICS-qualified building surveyor or equivalent professional: this is not available to unqualified contractors, general builders, or small surveying firms without formal RICS accreditation and professional indemnity insurance, so most tradespersons will be unable to bid.

Always check the tender documents.
