Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority, pertains to securing a Programme Management Partner for the UKRI-Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). This initiative is part of their long-term estate transformation and decarbonisation programme. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK, this procurement process falls within the services industry category and is designed to enhance the sustainability and infrastructure of UKRI's scientific estate. The procurement process employed an open, competitive flexible procedure and was at the award stage as of 19th June 2026, with CPC Project Services Limited, based in London, awarded the contract valued at £16 million (exclusive of VAT) across an eight-year period. The contract is set to commence on 6th July 2026 and conclude on 6th July 2034.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for large firms experienced in construction project management services. Businesses specialising in sustainable development and infrastructure enhancement will find this a viable opportunity, as it's centred on achieving a sustainable, decarbonised, and future-ready scientific estate. Although the procurement process has already completed the award stage, similar opportunities could benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to engage in strategic delivery partnerships on a national scale and collaborate effectively with multiple stakeholders. Such tenders foster long-term relationships and enable companies to play a crucial role in national infrastructure projects.

Notice Title

UKRI-4680 Programme Management Partner for STFC

Notice Description

The UKRI-STFC Science Estate are beginning a long-term Estate transformation and decarbonisation programme, not only planning for new buildings and infrastructure but to address backlog maintenance, replace end-of-life estate and to decarbonise. A long-term partnership agreement of 8 years has been identified as the optimum approach to securing both a Construction Partner and Programme Management Partner in delivering this important programme. UKRI-STFC are instructing two separate procurements, for each partner, with the requirement for the partners appointed to work collaboratively with STFC Estate leaders and wider stakeholders to realise the programme. Given the full potential scope of the UKRI-STFC Estates transformation programme, the proposed maximum values for the Programme Management Partner for STFC across an 8-year duration is PS16M ex VAT. It is to be noted that this is the maximum spend and is not fully guaranteed. This procurement is for the Programme Management Partner. This procurement will secure a national, long-term Programme Management Partner to lead the strategic delivery of UKRI-STFC's estate transformation programme, with a primary focus on achieving a sustainable, decarbonised and future-ready scientific estate aligned with the UK's long-term infrastructure needs.
