This initiative, dubbed Project Gabriel, involves the redevelopment of the current Workplace Services Transformation Programme (WSTP) contracts, which expire in late 2028. The procurement is focused on the services industry, particularly repair, maintenance, building, and facilities management, spanning multiple regions across the UK. A significant step in this process includes the alignment with the Government's Sourcing Playbook to conduct a Delivery Model Assessment (DMA) scheduled for completion by 30 June 2028. As of March 2026, GPA plans to utilise the CCS Facilities Management and Security Services framework (RM6378) scheduled to go live in June 2026, further enhancing their strategic capabilities. This tender represents a considerable opportunity for businesses operating in the fields of facilities management and security services, offering a substantial contract value of approximately £500 million. The re-procurement process intends to mobilise contracts by Q4 2028, with substantial involvement from small to medium enterprises to potentially benefit from GPA's strategic shift towards disaggregated regionally managed services. Participating in the upcoming DMA feedback opportunities, including market questionnaires and one-to-one supplier sessions, provides an avenue for businesses to influence the future procurement strategy and tailor their solutions. Enterprises experienced in delivering services under outsourced or hybrid models will find this tender particularly attractive. ## Notice The Government Property Agency (GPA) is preparing for the successor to the current Workplace Services Transformation Programme (WSTP) contracts, which are set to expire in 2028.
