The HMRC portfolio was acquired in 2001 following a Public Finance Initiative (PFI) procurement exercise. This portfolio is known as STEPS (Strategic Transfer of the Estate to the Private Sector).

The transaction involved the acquisition of freehold and long leasehold properties and rack-rented leasehold properties under a 20-year purchase and leaseback agreement. At contract commencement in 2001 this portfolio totalled 1 500 000 m², representing the majority of HMRC's UK property, including offices, customer contact centres and other facilities located in 279 towns and cities across the UK. Mapeley is seeking to conclude framework agreements with suitably qualified design and build contractors for the execution of construction projects as follows:

under the framework HMRC also intends to act as a Central Purchasing Body - see Article 11 of the Public Sector Directive (2004/18/EC), with Mapeley as their appointed agent under the STEPS contract. Mapeley will manage the framework agreements in their entirety.

A Central Purchasing Body is defined in the Public Contracts Regulations as "a contracting authority which:acquires goods or services intended for 1 or more contracting authorities; awards public contracts intended for 1 or more contracting authorities; or concludes framework agreements for works and/or goods or services intended for one or more contracting authorities. The framework is intended to be made available for use by Central Government departments, local authorities and other UK Contracting Authorities which are clients and/or tenants of Mapeley.

Mapeley will act as HMRC's agent responsible for the governance and leadership of the framework and will offer the opportunity of linking similar projects in the region into a programme of works applying similar methodology and supply chains.

Mapeley anticipates that works carried out under the framework will include the execution of construction, refurbishment, fit out and life cycle replacement works for its HMRC UK based estate estimated at over 700 properties of varying types, sizes and locations.

The Design and Build Contractors will be required to clearly demonstrate their commitment to work in an environment of collaboration and co-operation in order to deliver the total programme over the life of the framework agreement.

The requirement will include all or part of the following:

- external and internal refurbishment and fit-out of offices, including all building works, demolitions and alterations, ceilings, partitions, flooring, decorations, joinery, mechanical and electrical and public health services etc;

- small new works and alterations;

- external works such as works to windows and entrances.
