Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre, a public authority under central government in the UK, has announced the award of a contract for Hard Services Management. The tender under the procurement ID "ocds-h6vhtk-04fc9e" was conducted using an open procurement method named the Competitive Flexible Procedure. This process culminated in an award decision being reached on 5th September 2025, with CBRE Managed Services selected as the supplier for the project. The awarded contract, valued at £2,400,000 (gross amount £2,800,000), spans the period from 26th January 2026 to 25th January 2029, with a possible extension of up to two additional years. This contract underlines a significant opportunity in the building and facilities management services sector, with the procurement stages having progressed through Planning, Tender, and Award phases.

This procurement process offers substantial business growth opportunities for entities operating in building and facilities management, particularly those capable of managing hard services. The contract's comprehensive value and duration allow winning bidders to solidify their market position and showcase their service capabilities within central government projects. CBRE Managed Services, a large-scale enterprise, was awarded the contract, suggesting that businesses of a similar scale or with the capability to scale operations could ideally compete in such tenders. Companies adept at handling complex facilities management requirements and with experience in public sector projects will find opportunities in similar government contracts, given the substantial scale and fiscal magnitude involved.
