Crawley Borough Council is investing in new Civic Offices to replace the existing Town Hall. Together with the new Civic Offices, a further 7140 m2 of Grade A commercial offices are to be developed and will be available for occupation from early 2022.

Officers have carried out a procurement exercise inviting tenders for the appointment of a Commercial Letting Agent for the commercial offices. The Letting Agent will be required to work with the Council to market the commercial office space to achieve the most advantageous and timely letting of the office floors with the purpose of generating income for the Council to invest in services. The Agent will also be required to provide design and facilities management advice to ensure that the offices meet the Grade A market expectation.

The procurement exercise has been undertaken with all the bidders submissions being evaluated, with the scores moderated, to produce a successful bidder.

As a result of the finalisation of the procurement process and following consultation with the CEO/DCE, the Head of Corporate Finance has exercised delegated authority to undertake procurement for the Letting Agent for the commercial space within the new Civic Offices building.  Following the procurement exercise the contract has been awarded to the most advantageous supplier (Bidder 5), with the contract to start on the 1 June 2020.

Information relating to the bids submitted are attached for Councillors only.
