The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, on behalf of Warwickshire Police, is inviting tenders for the provision of Estates Consultancy Services.
Warwickshire Police delivers a programme of small to medium-scale estates projects across its operational estate. These include refurbishments, extensions, alterations, fit-outs, infrastructure upgrades and planned maintenance works.
Planned projects over the next two financial years include, but are not limited to, HVAC upgrades, building refurbishments (internal and external), lighting improvements, fire alarm systems, electrical switchgear and air handling unit upgrades, and associated grounds works.
Drawing on experience and the inherently unpredictable nature of policing, the success of our projects relies on partnering with suppliers who are adaptable and able to respond flexibly to our evolving needs. We are therefore seeking a supplier that has experience of delivering comparable estates consultancy services within a policing environment and/ or to other UK Law Enforcement, Defence, or Criminal Justice customers with strict security and vetting requirements comparable to policing.
The appointed consultant will provide client-side advisory and delivery support, working under the direction of the Estates Manager, who will retain overall project management responsibility.
Services will include, but are not limited to:
The requirement will be tendered as a single contract. The Authority considered whether the requirement could appropriately be divided into lots. Following assessment, it was concluded that a single contract is operationally and technically preferable due to the need for a consistent and integrated approach, ensuring alignment in advice, delivery standards and reporting. In addition, evidence from the previous procurement undertaken by ourselves demonstrates that the market can deliver the full scope as a single contract.
The proposed contract term is two (2) years with the option to extend for up to a further two (2) periods of twelve (12) months each, subject to satisfactory performance and project requirements.
The contract value is expected to be in the region of 10–15% of capital works value, actual % value may vary depending on the nature and size of the capital project. Based on the current capital expenditure pipeline and a project value of 10-15% the estimated total contract value is between £1,755,129 and £2,632,694 (excluding VAT) over the full potential 4-year term (these figures have been updated from the original UK4 Tender Notice as we were advised by Estates of revised works expenditure for the next 3 years). The total contract value is therefore an estimate and indicative only, value may increase or decrease depending on number and scope of projects, capital budget availability, estate and asset changes plus any future policing reform requirements.

The Authority has determined that Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is not required for this procurement. A full competitive tender exercise for estates consultancy services was undertaken in May 2024. Since contract award, further assurance of supplier capability and market capacity has been gained through contract delivery. The estates consultancy market is well-established and stable, with no indication of material changes since the previous procurement. The requirements are clearly defined and based on recent specifications, refined through operational experience. As such, there is no material uncertainty that would necessitate further market engagement to shape the procurement approach. On this basis, undertaking PME is not considered proportionate and would be unlikely to deliver additional value. The Authority is satisfied that proceeding directly to tender will support effective competition and compliance with the Procurement Act 2023.
