Summary of the contracting process

The Arts Council of England procured project management services for the fit-out of a storage facility in Coventry, within the West Midlands. The work covers managing the fit-out project rather than supplying construction materials or carrying out general storage operations. It is classified as construction project management services (CPV 71541000) and falls within the services category. The buyer is based in Manchester, while delivery is at the Arts Council’s Coventry storage facility. The requirement would suit organisations that can oversee a facility fit-out, coordinate project activity and manage delivery on the buyer’s behalf. It is a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately described lots, and relates specifically to the development of this storage site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The tender deadline was 29 May 2026, and the award was made on 24 July 2026. Jones Lang Lasalle Limited was selected as supplier for £93,095 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The procurement used a tender process for services, with the published requirement describing project management for the Coventry storage facility fit-out. The contract value and period apply to this award. The award is recorded as active, indicating that the selected supplier is contracted to provide the services during the stated period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Arts Council of England for a specialist project manager to lead a storage-facility fit-out. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need experience managing construction or property fit-out projects, coordinating contractors and suppliers, controlling delivery risks and keeping the client informed through the project lifecycle. The work is likely to require the capacity and systems of an established project-management or property consultancy rather than a small or voluntary-sector organisation, since the opportunity was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Relevant firms should be able to provide senior project leadership, programme and cost control, procurement coordination, quality oversight and practical experience delivering comparable facilities projects for public-sector clients.
