Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank bought project management services to support the relocation of its Sheffield office. The work concerns planning and managing an office move, rather than supplying relocation services alone. The delivery location is in the United Kingdom. The Bank is a central government public authority, and the requirement was managed for the Bank under its Standing Financial Instructions.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Savills (UK) Limited through a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026, runs from 12 October 2026 to 15 November 2027, and is valued at £129,600 excluding VAT (£155,520 including VAT). There was one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information identifies project management for the Sheffield office relocation as the requirement; no further evaluation basis is stated.

For firms providing workplace change and property project management, this award demonstrates that the British Business Bank has bought external expertise to manage an office relocation. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show practical capability in planning and coordinating an office move, managing delivery through to completion, and supporting a central government client within its financial and governance processes. Experience delivering relocation projects for organisations of similar operational complexity would help establish credibility. The award went to a large property and real estate services firm, indicating that established providers with sufficient project delivery capacity can compete for this kind of assignment. The opportunity is specifically office relocation project management for the Bank, rather than general facilities management or standalone removals.
