Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has completed a procurement process titled "FCDO UK Estate Master Planning Support," aimed at obtaining professional advisory services to manage significant changes within the UK Estate. These changes include relocating staff and repurposing facilities. The tender, classified under "Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis," involves multiple delivery locations including the United Kingdom and locations worldwide. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract set to run from 27th May 2025 to 23rd June 2027. This procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Aecom Limited on 29th April 2026, valued at £99,327,324.

This tender presents formidable opportunities for businesses specialising in providing feasibility studies, advisory services, and relocation management. Given the complexity and scale, large firms like Aecom Limited are well-suited to undertake such projects. However, the procurement is notably open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fostering potential collaboration or sub-contracting opportunities. Companies with expertise in work environment or relocation services, and those capable of handling large-scale staffing and logistics challenges across diverse geographical locations, are likely to find growth opportunities in similar future tenders initiated by government bodies such as the FCDO.
