Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed a procurement process for Leasehold Transaction Services, contracting the supplier Perfect Circle in a direct award. This tender, categorised under Architectural, Construction, Engineering, and Inspection Services (CPV 71000000), serves the Estates function within the department. The services are demanded across a wide geographic area, including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, and other international locations. The procurement method adopted was a direct award, avoiding competitive tendering, with a total contract value of £150,000. The contract commenced on 5th May 2025 and is set to conclude on 4th May 2026, following an award in April 2025.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for growth for businesses capable of offering specialised knowledge in leasehold transactions and related services, showing particular suitability for both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The direct award process implies a likelihood for suppliers with well-established reputations or existing relationships with the DWP to engage. Businesses positioned in the architectural or engineering industries with a strong track record of delivering large-scale projects and serving as prime contractors are notably well-suited to such procurement initiatives. This contract provides a platform to showcase expertise in real estate and infrastructure advisory services on a substantial scale.
