Service specifications, asset schedules and tender packs

CCL service / 06
Tendering & procurement
Procurement should create control—not simply produce three different prices.
What this service does
Comparable scopes, transparent evaluation and appointments that make contractors accountable from day one.
CCL turns operational need into a clear scope, procurement route and evaluation. We help clients compare like with like, understand exclusions and mobilisation requirements, and establish reporting and approval rules before a contract begins.
What CCL can do
Focused support, built around the building.
The final instruction can cover one defined problem or a complete programme. Scope, deliverables and approval limits are agreed first.
Market testing, contractor engagement and site visits
Commercial and technical bid equalisation
Exclusion, frequency, labour and subcontractor analysis
Recommendation reports and mobilisation conditions
SLA, KPI, reporting and change-control requirements
How we work
Clarity first. Control second. Evidence throughout.
CCL stays close enough to the detail to understand the problem, while keeping the client view clear and commercially focused.
Define
Agree the outcome, assets, service frequency, evidence and client controls before pricing.
Compare
Normalise proposals so gaps, exclusions, rates and real annual cost are visible.
Mobilise
Carry the agreed scope into schedules, job cards, reporting and performance reviews.
Relevant experience
Experience from complex London buildings.
Examples below reflect Charlie Wells' previous employed and consultancy roles. New instructions are delivered independently through CCL Property.
Security investment case
Developed a security business case of approximately £250,000, connecting operational risk, service design and client decision-making.
Specialist contract procurement
Reviewed and re-established M&E, life-safety, security and compliance arrangements, challenging scope duplication and supplier mark-ups.
Complex estate procurement
Experience coordinating and assessing specialist proposals across fire, lifts, fabric, access and planned remedial programmes.
What good looks like
Useful outcomes—not reports that sit on a shelf.
