Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions commissioned specialist property and landlord advisory and transactional services under its Lease and Landlord Management programme. The work covers property acquisitions, dilapidations, valuations, town planning and strategic advice, supporting the department’s management and change of its estate. This is a UK-wide requirement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as real estate services. Two suppliers were selected to provide services within the same lot: Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited and Eddisons Commercial Limited. The scope is therefore relevant to property consultancies with the capability to advise public-sector estate owners on both property transactions and strategic estate matters.

The procurement is complete and awards have been made through a competitive selection under a framework. Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited was awarded £25 million, with a contract period from 1 May 2027 to 31 March 2031 and two possible 12-month extensions, to a maximum date of 31 March 2033. Eddisons Commercial Limited received a separate award of £9 million, dated 14 October 2026; its contract period runs from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2031, with two possible 12-month extensions, to a maximum date of 30 April 2033. The initial estimated procurement value was £33.44 million excluding VAT (£40.128 million including VAT). The lot was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published data does not state the award scoring criteria.

The awards show demand for a broad property advisory offer serving a large central-government estate: suppliers need to combine transactional capability, including acquisitions and dilapidations, with valuation, town-planning and strategic advice. Experience in advising on public-sector property portfolios and delivering estate change would help a competitor demonstrate relevance to this buyer’s requirement. The framework route and two separate awards indicate that capability to operate within a framework and deliver alongside another appointed supplier is commercially pertinent. The contract durations and extension options point to sustained service delivery rather than a one-off property transaction. Small and medium-sized suppliers were considered suitable for the lot, making this requirement relevant beyond only the largest firms, provided they can evidence the specialist expertise and capacity needed across the UK-wide scope.
