Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport appointed a delivery agent for the disposal of surplus land and property acquired for the cancelled HS2 Phase 2 routes, beginning with the former Phase 2b Eastern area. The portfolio covers residential, agricultural and commercial land and properties across the United Kingdom. The required real estate services comprise three workstreams: developing the disposal and delivery strategy; project control, reporting and programme management; and comprehensive marketing and transaction agency services. The supplier must work closely with the Department for Transport, HS2 Ltd, other advisers and stakeholders to deliver the Authority’s objectives and policy requirements. This is a property disposal, estate agency and strategic real estate advisory requirement, including residential and non-residential sales and agricultural property activity.

This procurement is complete and was run as an above-threshold open procedure. One lot was evaluated on technical quality and social value at 70%—including relevant expertise and approach at 35% and management and delivery at 25%—with commercial price weighted at 30%. Seven valid bids were received. Jones Lang LaSalle Limited was awarded the contract on 19 December 2025 for £5,000,000 net (£6,000,000 gross). The contract was signed on 4 March 2026 and runs from 4 March 2026 to 4 March 2029, with a possible one-year extension to 4 March 2030. The procurement’s estimated value was £8,500,000 net (£10,200,000 gross). A contingency allowance and extension option are included. Performance is monitored quarterly.

This requirement demonstrates demand for a substantial, multi-disciplinary property disposal service within central government. Suppliers seeking similar work would need proven expertise in residential, agricultural and commercial property disposals, including marketing, sales transactions and estate agency delivered across a wide geographic portfolio. Credibility would also depend on strong programme controls, reporting, budget management, mobilisation and contract administration, alongside the ability to coordinate effectively with a public authority, HS2 Ltd, advisers and other stakeholders. The evaluation emphasis shows that relevant expertise, delivery approach, management capability and social value matter more than price alone. Competitors should be able to provide suitably qualified staff, manage specialist subcontractors such as agricultural service providers, and demonstrate reliable communication, performance reporting and knowledge transfer.
