Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured a National Delivery Partner for its Strategic Sites Accelerator pilot programme, covering the UK. The programme prepares commercial and industrial sites for use by industry, including sectors within the Government’s Industrial Strategy, to support growth and investment. The requirement combines four service areas: commercial advice for the accelerator and real-estate investments; transaction and financial delivery capability; real-asset management and infrastructure delivery; and programme delivery responsibilities. The procurement is for real-estate services, including commercial, financial, infrastructure and programme-management support. The work involves supporting the rollout of the programme and its site investments, with delivery across UK locations. The awarded supplier is CBRE Limited, with Turner & Townsend identified for subcontracted work.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to CBRE Limited following a competitive further competition under Lot 1 of the Estate Management Services RM6343 Framework. The award was made on 14 April 2026, with a value of £5,000,000 excluding VAT (£6,000,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 25 June 2026 to 24 June 2029. The procurement used a selective method under the framework and was above the relevant threshold. It covered one lot, marked complete and suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract’s performance measures include commercial and value-for-money assessments, Green Book-compliant assessments, monthly reporting packs, risk and milestone reporting, site profile packs, stakeholder satisfaction, transaction support and site project plans.

This requirement demonstrates demand for an integrated national real-estate delivery partner rather than a narrow property consultancy. A credible competitor would need to combine commercial property advice, investment and transaction expertise, financial modelling, real-asset and infrastructure management, and programme governance. Relevant capability includes structuring, negotiating and executing debt and equity transactions, producing written advisory products before financial close, and working within public-sector legal, commercial and financial requirements. Suppliers would also need to assess value for money against Green Book requirements, prepare detailed profiles for shortlisted sites, develop project plans after investment decisions, and provide reliable reporting covering status, risks, milestones and finances. Experience working with local authorities, combined or mayoral authorities, developers and other delivery partners would support delivery. The requirement is suitable for organisations able to coordinate specialist subcontractors at national scale.
