What is being bought

Published requirement description

On behalf of Sunderland City Council, Knight Frank Promise is looking to appoint a service provider to deliver and maintain a multi-device platform that connects multiple building users & visitors through an app. Sunderland City Council currently requires this app to be implemented across two locations City Hall and The Beam, however, there may be future requirements to extend the requirements across other Riverside Sunderland locations.

Sunderland City Council has appointed our client Knight Frank Promise who is a leading provider of real estate consultancy services. Its principal activities include advising owners, investors, users, and developers of commercial and residential real estate on achieving maximum value from their properties as effective workspaces, homes, or investments.
