Summary of the contracting process

East West Rail Company Limited procured land and property services to support the East West Rail programme across the United Kingdom. Lot 1 covered valuation and compensation, engagement with landowners, Development Consent Order preparation, land acquisition, reporting and business management support. Lot 2 covered access to land for surveys, land referencing, Development Consent Order preparation, land and rights assembly programme management, reporting and business management support. The work is a specialist professional service combining property, surveying, land rights, compensation, stakeholder engagement and programme support. It is intended to provide the land and property deliverables needed for the project’s Development Consent Order application, land assembly and related workstreams, with reporting to East West Rail Company Limited, including Power BI reporting.

The procurement is complete and both lots were awarded on 11 May 2026. Lot 1 was awarded to Arcadis LLP for £25,211,832.63 gross; the contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 22 August 2030, with extensions of up to two further years. Lot 2 was awarded to WSP UK Limited for £41,413,051.10 gross; the contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2030, also with extensions of up to two further years. The route was a selective, competitive flexible procedure with a two-stage PSQ and ITT process. Evaluation focused on methodology, capability, resourcing, collaboration, client experience, health and safety, social value, scenarios and price per quality point.

This procurement shows sustained demand from East West Rail for suppliers able to deliver integrated land and property services at programme scale. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience in valuation and compensation, landowner engagement, land referencing, negotiating and securing survey access, land acquisition and assembly, and preparing property deliverables for a Development Consent Order. The requirement also favours organisations with strong project and programme management, reporting, compliance and quality assurance systems, including the ability to use Power BI. Evidence of capable key personnel, resilient resourcing, collaborative working, problem solving, service delivery and health, safety and wellbeing management would be important. Suppliers should also be able to manage task orders, control budgets, support education and skills outcomes, and work effectively across multiple technical workstreams.
