The Department for Work & Pensions has appointed Cushman & Wakefield to provide its national lease and landlord management services.
The DWP is one of the largest government departments and employees 80,000 people across more than 850 properties in the UK.
The lease and landlord management contract will be managed by Cushman & Wakefield’s Global Occupier Services business. It will manage DWP’s lease portfolio and intra-government and wider public sector occupancy agreements.
James Maddock, head of GOS EMEA at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “We have a long track record of partnering with the public sector to deliver efficient, sustainable and fit-for-purpose property, securing value for money for the public purse.
“There are exciting opportunities for the DWP, so we are very pleased to enter into this landmark contract as it takes steps to transform its estate for the future.”
