Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions procured strategic consultancy and programme support for its Estates 2030 Strategic Pipeline Optimisation Programme. The work covers review and design of the Estates operating model, capability mapping, organisational and workforce design, property and workplace management expertise, and analysis of future insourcing and outsourcing choices. It also includes data management, business intelligence, technology and systems design, CAFM and real-estate systems integration, market insight, programme assurance, change management, and contract mobilisation, transition, exit and stabilisation. Optional services include sustainability, asset management, hard and soft facilities management, and programme management office support. The programme supports future estates re-procurements and delivery of the Department’s Estates 2030 strategy across the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AECOM Limited on 2 July 2026; the contract was signed on 15 July 2026. The awarded and contracted value is £22 million excluding VAT, or £26.4 million including VAT. The contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2028, with options for two further one-year extensions, potentially ending on 14 July 2030. It used an open competitive flexible procedure with two stages: a questionnaire stage reduced participation to a maximum of three suppliers, followed by final tenders. Three valid bids were received, including one from an SME. Evaluation used Price Per Quality Point, combining price with quality. Quality weighting covered delivery team, technology and systems, performance management, social value, and strategic advice and target operating model design.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to combine estates, property and workplace management expertise with strategic transformation capability. Credible competitors would need strong evidence from relevant real-estate and property assignments, data, systems and IT security work, and mobilisation or strategic change programmes. The requirement also favours organisations that can provide multidisciplinary teams spanning operating-model design, technology and systems integration, market analysis, programme assurance, change management and contract transition. Suppliers should be able to offer flexible specialist support across several service lines, including sustainability, asset management, facilities management and PMO support. Demonstrable performance management, social value delivery, robust financial capacity, insurance, supply-chain controls, carbon reduction and modern-slavery compliance would strengthen future competitiveness with this buyer.
