McBains has been appointed by the Government Property Agency (GPA) to provide project management, cost management, design and health and safety advice to support the delivery of its Workplace Services Projects.
Appointed alongside three other project delivery partners, following a robust and comprehensive procurement process via the Crown Commercial Services framework (RM 6165), McBains will support the GPA with an often challenging and changing portfolio of works during the three-year contract.
Workplace Services Projects delivers a major programme of activity including:
- Life cycle replacement - investing in our estate to improve its condition and our customers' experience
- Net zero - retrofitting low carbon interventions in the estate to contribute to government targets in reduction of carbon emissions
- Client requested works - ranging from building refurbishment to delivering sites suitable for specialised events such as public inquiries
Anthony Coumidis, Director at McBains, commented: “We’re thrilled that our expertise and experience have been recognised and merit a position on the new GPA framework.
“We’re looking forward to supporting the GPA's workplace project delivery teams with their portfolio of works. Our teams will bring an innovative and collaborative approach to the delivery of efficient and sustainable workplaces across the government estate.”
