Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions bought multi-disciplinary estates professional services for its Jobs and Careers Service Programme. The requirement covers refurbishment of existing and new DWP premises, associated divestment activity, and the planning, design, technical advice, programme management, project management and cost management needed to deliver the programme. It is a construction project management and wider estates consultancy service (CPV 71541000), rather than construction delivery alone. The appointed provider is expected to coordinate building fabric and mechanical and electrical requirements, and to bring together related lifecycle-funded works with Jobs and Careers projects where appropriate. The buying organisation is the Department for Work & Pensions; delivery concerns its premises and estate across the programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Three active awards and contracts are recorded for Gleeds Cost Management Limited. Each recorded contract is valued at £40 million; the contracts were signed on 1 April 2026, with the stated contract period running from 31 March 2026 to 30 March 2030. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a framework arrangement. Evaluation was based on price. Nine bids were recorded, with valid bid values ranging from £40 million to £50 million. The original lot is marked cancelled, while the associated awards and contracts are active. A subsequent modification added lifecycle-funded works where appropriate, to allow coordinated delivery alongside Jobs and Careers projects; that modification has nil value.

This requirement indicates sustained demand from DWP for an estates consultancy capable of supporting a complex, multi-site public-sector property programme. A credible competitor would need integrated capability across estate planning, architectural and technical design advice, building fabric and mechanical and electrical services, programme and project management, cost management, and property divestment. The ability to coordinate several workstreams and combine refurbishment or new-premises projects with other lifecycle-funded works is important, as DWP prefers a single coordinated project where sites have overlapping requirements. Experience managing task-led work for a large government estate, controlling costs and programmes, and coordinating design teams and contractors would strengthen a future bid. The procurement also shows that suppliers need to compete through a framework route and demonstrate capacity for substantial, complex estates work.
