Clive Anderson, Director of Capital Projects at the Government Property Agency, said: "We are very pleased to announce the appointment of Gleeds as a key strategic partner. Gleeds will provide the GPA with industry-leading professional services support for up to seven years, enabling more efficient programme delivery and greater value for money across the most diverse and challenging real estate programmes in the UK."
Gleeds' appointment completes the trio of strategic partners we sought to bring the increased breadth and depth of capability the GPA requires to support delivery of the Government’s priorities of Levelling Up, Places for Growth and Net Zero. Gleeds’ capabilities complement those of our other recently appointed partners WSP and Tetra Tech.
He added that a key element in the tender process was social value, with a focus on tackling economic inequality through the creation of employment, training and growth in all regions of the UK and driving sustainability benefits through net zero interventions.
