## Summary

The National Audit Office procured specialist land and property consultancy services for the Department for Transport. The requirement is for independent expert advice and analysis in an area requiring highly specialised knowledge, supporting work involving DfT land and property. The service falls within the broader financial auditing services category. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The contracting authority is the National Audit Office, a central government public authority. The appointed supplier, GRAHAM + SIBBALD Property Consulting Ltd, is based in Glasgow and provides property consulting expertise. This opportunity is therefore relevant to firms with established capability in land and property advice, independent analysis and specialist consultancy for public sector clients.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The National Audit Office used a Single Tender Action: a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to GRAHAM + SIBBALD Property Consulting Ltd. The contract was signed on 18 April 2026 and runs from 20 April 2026 to 19 April 2028. Its value is £76,000 excluding VAT, or £91,200 including VAT. The stated basis was the need for independent expert advice and analysis requiring highly specialised knowledge. The process is complete, so these details describe an awarded requirement rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist land and property expertise within the National Audit Office’s work for the Department for Transport. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to show strong technical knowledge of land and property, the ability to provide independent expert advice, and capacity to produce robust analysis for a public authority. Experience handling complex property issues and translating specialist findings into clear advice would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to deliver work across the United Kingdom and operate effectively in a central government environment. The use of a direct, below-threshold route indicates that a focused specialist provider satisfied a narrowly defined need.
