Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation commissioned asset optimisation consultancy for its corporate property portfolio. The requirement covers portfolio management services intended to support the review and optimisation of the Corporation’s property assets. The buyer is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, with the work relating to its corporate portfolio in the City of London. This is a professional services opportunity for organisations advising public-sector property owners on how assets can be managed, assessed and optimised. The scope is focused on consultancy rather than construction, property maintenance or the direct supply of goods. It is relevant to property, estates, asset management and portfolio consultancy businesses with experience of corporate property portfolios and public authority clients.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single-lot requirement. Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited was selected, with an active award and an active contract. The contract was signed on 9 June 2026, runs from 10 June 2026 to 31 August 2026, and has a gross value of £47,944.80. The award concerns portfolio management services. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, so suppliers were invited to participate selectively. The published outcome shows the buyer appointed one supplier for the complete requirement. Businesses assessing comparable future work should note the short consultancy period, modest contract value and focused corporate portfolio scope.

This award demonstrates demand from the City of London Corporation for specialist advice on optimising a public authority’s corporate property portfolio. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable capability in property asset strategy, portfolio analysis, asset performance improvement and practical recommendations for managing corporate estates. Experience translating analysis into actions for a public-sector property owner would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to deliver focused consultancy within a short engagement. The appointed supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that established professional services firms with sufficient specialist resource can compete for this type of requirement. Property advisers, estates consultants and portfolio management specialists should monitor this buyer’s future requirements and be prepared to evidence relevant corporate portfolio experience.
