Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council commissioned commercial property agency and lease management services for the Mallory and Irvine Building in Birkenhead, Wirral. The requirement covered ongoing support and strategic advice to secure occupational tenants for the office buildings. The appointed supplier was expected to prepare a marketing and letting strategy, engage regional and national potential occupiers, and support branding, marketing and communications aimed at the target market. The work also included attending meetings with the Council, regional stakeholders and prospective tenants, negotiating lease terms to maximise rental income, and recommending progression to legal agreements once terms had been settled. This is a commercial property management and tenant-acquisition requirement delivered in Wirral for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CBRE. Wirral Council used a limited direct-award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the National Framework Partnership Strategic Asset Advisory Real Estate Framework, Lot 4, under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The stated rationale was that the procurement fell outside the directive’s scope. Price was the sole award criterion. One bid was received, and it was submitted electronically by an SME. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and has a value of £160,000 excluding any separate tax treatment. The award is active and the contract is active. No contract duration or end date is stated in the procurement information.

This award indicates that Wirral Council values a single specialist property adviser able to combine commercial agency, leasing strategy and occupier engagement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate experience marketing office accommodation to regional and national occupiers, developing clear letting strategies, and managing communications with prospective tenants and public-sector stakeholders. Capability in commercial lease negotiation would be important, including the ability to protect or improve rental income while producing practical recommendations for legal completion. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, and the procurement was handled through a strategic asset advisory real-estate framework, so relevant framework access, property-sector credentials and the capacity to provide sustained strategic and transactional support would be commercially significant.
