## Summary

The Government Property Agency is buying construction strategy and procurement consultancy for work at WHC. The requirement centres on commercial advice for a heritage building, including specialist procurement support and applying heritage knowledge to reduce project risk. The service is intended to support the Agency’s project team with construction strategy and procurement matters. The named supplier is based in Horsham, while the delivery location is stated only as the United Kingdom; no specific town or site is identified. This is a specialist professional service rather than a construction works contract: the supplier is advising on strategy and procurement, not undertaking building work. The service category is procurement consultancy (CPV 79418000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to FMCP Limited. The stated reason was that its critical, bespoke heritage-building commercial advice and technical expertise were not readily available through normal sourcing routes, and that continuity of specialist heritage procurement services would help reduce project risk. The award date was 15 October 2026. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 4 April 2027, with an optional three-month extension to 4 July 2027. The awarded value is £162,350 excluding VAT and £194,820 including VAT. There is one lot, covering the whole requirement. The recorded evaluation basis is the direct-award rationale; no separate scoring criteria are stated.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in commercial advice for heritage buildings, construction strategy and procurement, together with the ability to apply that specialist knowledge to project risk. The buyer’s stated rationale places particular weight on bespoke subject-matter expertise and continuity of heritage procurement support, rather than general procurement capacity alone. Suppliers should be able to show how their advice supports a project team through procurement decisions and addresses risks specific to heritage-building work. This award also shows that the Government Property Agency has bought a focused consultancy service through direct award, on the basis that specialist capability was not readily available through normal sourcing routes. Firms whose experience is limited to delivering construction work, without the relevant commercial and procurement specialism, may be less closely aligned.
