These sites support our c.85,000 (FTE) colleagues in delivering frontline services for around 24 million customers.

The Estate makes a significant contribution to the delivery of our public services, enabling us to interface with customers and provide the environment for front and back of house staff to undertake their important roles, supporting those in need within our society. DWP is committed to supporting the delivery of the Government Estate Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-property-strategy-2022-2030) This strategy will ensure that the government estate helps to transform places and services; is smaller, better and greener; and is managed in a professional and increasingly commercial way. BACKGROUND TO THE REQUIREMENT DWP Estates is embarking on the delivery of the Estates 2030 Strategy and Vision, which incorporates the DWP Estates 2030 Strategic Pipeline Optimisation Programme (SPOP).
