Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council commissioned a strategic review of its General Fund land and property portfolio. The work is intended to help the Council optimise its assets, improve financial sustainability, support service redesign and ensure its estate enables future ways of operating. This is property and estate strategy consultancy, including management consultancy and evaluation services. The review concerns the Council’s own portfolio; the contracting data does not identify a separate delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited. The Council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the strategic asset review. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 16 October 2026. Its term runs from 16 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. The contract value is £163,550 excluding VAT (£196,260 including VAT). The published procurement details do not describe the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were scored.

This award shows demand from Westminster City Council for strategic advice on its General Fund property portfolio, linking estate optimisation with financial sustainability, service redesign and future operating models. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate property and asset portfolio review capability, alongside management consultancy and evaluation expertise. Suppliers should be able to connect property analysis to practical decisions about the Council’s estate and the services and operating models it must support. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that the requirement has been met by an established firm; the procurement does not set out specific accreditation, staffing or capacity requirements. The route was limited competition below the threshold, so suppliers should monitor the Council’s relevant procurement opportunities and be prepared for a competitive selection process.
