Central & Wider Government

The WaND team has experience of working across the public sector. We understand the commonalities and nuances when Government, in all its guises, approaches industry for services and infrastructure products.

We have applied the proven WaND approach in areas such as Health, Justice, Transport, Revenue & Customs, Education and Culture. We have helped clients secure positions on Central Government, geographical and discipline-themed frameworks, then target and optimise opportunities on these frameworks, as well as securing stand-alone construction and services contracts.

We also work with clients where public sector procurement regulations are optional or applied in an opaque manner. This is often the case with arm’s length public bodies or private enterprises drawing on public funding such as universities and museums. Face-to-face presentations can be critical to success and we provide coaching and assessment to prepare individuals to work as a team and make the best impression.

Our recent experience ranges from central government department and agency (DfT, DWP, HMRC, Covid Management Quarantine Services) national integrator, hard and total FM provision to design & build for Culture and Education (Museum of London, schools and universities).

Case Studies

Since 2012 WaND has supported 30+ Clients across 150+ major procurements. Here are recent examples of work winning support

Metropolitan Police Hard FM & Engineering Services Procurement

The Metropolitan Police initiated a procurement competition seeking a single industry partner to provide hard FM and engineering services. The Met had decided to transform its relationship with industry, moving from a North and South model to a single partnering arrangement to maintain its complex, critical and diverse estate. This estate, covering 160 sites, includes non-standard assets ranging from aviation, stables, port and training facilities to micro assets such as 36,000 lockers. Our Client, a major UK FM entity, had targeted the contract as a new business opportunity and tasked WaND with supporting them in securing it.

Securing Major Construction Contracts that will change the future of the Defence Estate

As part of its Defence Estates Optimization Programme (DEOP), MOD sought Delivery Partners for 5 Regional and 6 Major Projects packages of accommodation and technical infrastructure, totaling £3.65Bn. Our Client considered achieving a significant role in DEOP as fundamental to its defence business.

Developing London’s Heritage – The New London Museum

The Museum of London are creating a new £340M museum in dilapidated market buildings in Smithfield by 2026. The new museum, once complete, will comprise over 26,000 square metres. The ambition is to create a museum that is truly London, that is appealing and meaningful for the diverse population of London and for visitors from across the UK and the world.

Central to the realisation of this ambition was the need to appoint a high calibre Construction Manager who would bring not only their technical expertise and experience but also a passion to share in the creation of what will be a new landmark cultural attraction for London. SRM were immensely passionate about securing this contract and they appointed WaND to help them succeed.
