TENDER FOR WHOLE LIFE COSTING CONSULTANT – CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL

Central Bedfordshire Council is seeking a consultant to undertake a ‘whole life costing’ exercise to ascertain the sinking fund element for service charges of commercial units in mixed-use blocks in its current stock and reinstatement cost assessments.

In addition to the above, consultant building surveys will be required to undertaken at different stages of the letting process, and during the period of the lease, as detailed below. There are circa 45 commercial units in total and whilst the majority are currently let, there remain several changes each year for which this contracted service will be required, including some being built / acquired.
