Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) commissioned business and management consultancy services to map its estates operating model and carry out additional organisational design work. The requirement covers consultancy supporting how UKRI’s estates function is structured and operated, including analysis and recommendations for its future operating model and organisation. The services fall within the business and management consultancy category (CPV 79410000). UKRI is the buying organisation, based in Swindon. Delivery is intended to cover the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. This is a services requirement rather than a works or goods contract, and is relevant to consultancies with estates, operating-model and organisational-design expertise.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UKRI used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 25 August 2026 to Jones Lang LaSalle Limited for £198,000. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. The award is active. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published outcome therefore records a completed framework call-off rather than an opportunity for further bids on this contract. The award relates to the full estates operating-model and organisational-design consultancy requirement.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates UKRI’s demand for specialist estates consultancy combining operating-model mapping with organisation design. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need consultants able to understand estates functions, assess current operating arrangements, design practical organisational structures and translate findings into implementable recommendations. Experience advising large, geographically distributed public or research organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where estates activity spans the UK and international locations. The route to market also matters: suppliers would need access to an appropriate public-sector framework and the ability to operate within its call-off process. The requirement favours established specialist capacity rather than small or voluntary-sector providers, with sufficient senior expertise to deliver focused consultancy across the buyer’s estates organisation.
