Summary of the contracting process

The Government Property Agency commissioned professional services for its Occupancy Messaging Architecture programme, supporting better use of workspace and capacity across the government estate. The work is to build, maintain and develop a scalable data integration layer that brings together building occupancy information from Wi-Fi, internet-connected sensors and emerging property technologies. The system is intended to automate the collection, processing and routing of that data so occupancy insights are more accurate and usable. Delivery calls for a cross-functional team working in agile sprints, covering the integration capability from initial build through ongoing maintenance and maturation. The services are delivered in England. The requirement is for information technology and systems planning and delivery services, rather than physical property works or the supply of sensors themselves.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited on 21 September 2026. The award value is £943,317.78. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. The preceding tender deadline was 20 September 2026. The Government Property Agency used a selective procedure, making this a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was classified as services. The published process identifies suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The contract concerns one programme-wide requirement to build, maintain and mature the occupancy data integration capability. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information, so the basis on which competing framework suppliers were assessed cannot be summarised here.

For suppliers considering similar work for the Government Property Agency, this award demonstrates demand for specialist technology delivery that connects varied building-occupancy data sources and turns their data into usable operational insight. A credible competitor would need to assemble a cross-functional team able to deliver through agile sprints, design and build an enterprise-grade modular integration layer, and support its maintenance and continued development. Practical experience handling data ingestion, processing and routing from Wi-Fi, IoT sensors and evolving property technologies would be directly relevant, alongside an understanding of how occupancy information supports workspace optimisation and capacity management. The work is a substantial, programme-level services requirement, competed as a framework call-off. The process marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs; no particular accreditation or other supplier qualification is identified.
