Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the Department for Transport (DfT), focuses on appointing a Delivery Agent for the HS2 Phase 2 Surplus Land and Property Disposal project. This initiative involves the strategic sale of former HS2 Phase 2 properties across various regions, primarily targeting the West Midlands to Leeds sector. With the procurement following an open procedure method, the process has transitioned from the tender stage, initiated on 1 October 2025, to the award stage, with the contract award notice published on 23 December 2025. The contract, worth £6 million, commences on 19 January 2026, with a potential one-year extension until 2030. The procurement is categorised under real estate services, involving residential and non-residential property sales, and entails collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including HS2 Ltd.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in the real estate and property management sectors. Specifically, it presents growth avenues for companies providing services such as strategic property sales, transaction management, and marketing. Large firms like Jones Lang LaSalle Limited, who have been awarded the contract, could find the project especially beneficial given their established capabilities in managing extensive property portfolios across the UK. Additionally, SMEs, as evidenced by Watling Real Estate Limited's participation, are well-positioned to offer niche expertise or subcontracting services. The competitive bidding process demonstrates the potential for diverse business growth through proactive engagement in high-profile government projects and large-scale property disposals.
