## Summary

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has completed the procurement process titled "Property Advice and lease negotiations for OKS Accommodation Project". This initiative falls under the services industry category and addresses non-residential property services, specifically focused on procurement consultancy. The contract was awarded to Knight Frank following a selective procurement method via a framework agreement. The tender period closed on 18th January 2018, with the contract duration beginning on 2nd March 2018 and extending until 30th September 2019. The value of the contract is £140,000, indicating significant investment in property consultancy services.

This tender presents an opportunity for property consultancy firms, particularly those with capabilities in negotiation, space needs analysis, and workplace strategy, to work with governmental entities. Businesses equipped to handle complex negotiations and with experience in the property market in London will be well-suited to engage in future contracts of this nature. As the ORR navigates potential relocations and lease negotiations, firms that can offer tailored services in this sector may find advantageous pathways for growth and collaboration with a government department.

## Notice

ORR requires the support of property consultants to carry out negotiations on either a new lease for its current London location, or negotiations for exiting the current lease held with the superior landlord Almacantar. In the event that ORR is required to move offices, property consultants will also be needed to: complete an options appraisal covering various scenarios for suitable properties in London; support the development of the associated Green Book Business Case or Detailed Business Case for the chosen location if required; assist us in planning our move to a new premises in conjunction with Government Property Unit (GPU), including carrying out a space needs analysis/workplace strategy, managing the design and fit-out; and finally, negotiating terms of a new lease. As a small non-ministerial government department, we do not have the in-house skills or resources required to carry out this work. Also, although ORR is looking to retain its head office in London, this is subject to approval by the Public Bodies Relocation Programme. We hope to receive a decision on this by the end of 2017.
