Buying Solutions - The National Procurement Partner for UK Public Services

This framework agreement brings together a number of Estates Services designed primarily to assist with requirements which occur independently of general management and can be seen as stand alone appointments.

These can range from a full appraisal of an organisation's business needs and existing holdings in an estate strategy, through to individual rent reviews or disposals.

The framework agreement has been recently enhanced to provide a full range of Rating Support Services to provide professional advice, guidance, negotiation and assistance on non-domestic rating issues.

Contracts awarded during the life of the framework agreement can last up to four years, but they cannot go beyond two years following the framework agreement's expiry.

The framework agreement provides the professional advice, guidance, negotiation and assistance on property and estates issues including, but not limited to the following:

• Acquisition of freehold and leasehold property
• Disposal of freehold and leasehold property
• Rent reviews
• Lease breaks and lease expiries
• Lease renewals
