Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Total Facilities Management" contract by National Highways, a central government public authority, is currently at the planning stage. The project encompasses the provision of facilities management services for multiple buildings across various regions in England, with an anticipated contract commencement in November 2026 and lasting for up to seven years. This contract will initially cover approximately 42 buildings, potentially expanding to around 160. The procurement falls within the industry categories of facilities management, building maintenance, and general repair services. Key dates include an online market engagement event scheduled for 8th July 2025, with subsequent steps planned to move towards a full tender process later in the year.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in comprehensive facilities management and building maintenance services. The planned scale of the project, involving numerous buildings and a substantial contract value of £112 million (gross), makes it a lucrative prospect for established firms with capacity to manage extensive service delivery across multiple regions. Companies with experience in transitioning and integrating facilities management processes to unified services will find this an ideal tender to support business expansion and leverage their expertise in managing large-scale public sector contracts.

Notice Title

Total Facilities Management

Notice Description

The provision of a total facilities management service for National Highways buildings across all regions in England. The service is expected to commence in late 2026 and last for up to 7 years. The initial contract will support an estimated 42 buildings but include provision to support additional buildings as National Highways rationalises separate facilities management arrangements into a single service. The number of buildings to be added to the contract is to be determined but is currently estimated at 118, to make an estimated total by the end of the contract of around 160.

Planning Information

Following an earlier engagement event held in January 2025 (originally announced in https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/038670-2024, published 29 November 2024) National Highways would like to update the market on its current plans to replace its existing Total Facilities Management contract. National Highways will be holding an online engagement event on 8 July 2025. Suppliers who are interested in the event may register their interest at https://forms.office.com/e/vJJhbv9cv6. To manage system bandwidth, suppliers are asked to limit attendance to two people each. Suppliers may request to receive presentation materials rather than attend the event. Suppliers registered to attend or receive materials from the event may be asked to provide additional information after the event, which could be used to shape the final procurement exercise.
