UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the Government Property Agency, headquartered at 23 Stephenson Street, Birmingham, which is planning a procurement titled "Project Gabriel - Provision of Facilities Management for GPA estate". The procurement is categorised under 'services' within the industry, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services and building and facilities management services. This planned procurement, currently in the planning stage with a future notice date set for 1st February 2027, covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, UKL, and UKM. The procurement aims for a contract mobilisation start date by January 2028, with an initial contract period extending until December 2033 with potential extensions.

The Project Gabriel procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in facilities management and related services. It is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the stated suitability criteria. Given the substantial scale of current contracts, which are valued at approximately £500 million under the existing Workplace Services Transformation Programme, this procurement represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector facilities management arena. Companies with expertise in managing large-scale disaggregated regional contracts, supported by strategic delivery partners, will find this venture aligns well with their business model.
