What is our approach?

By providing national property and property-related financial services, we are helping The GPA to​ deliver a shared, sustainable and value-for-money government estate which supports civil servants to work productively across the UK.​

We mirror and align to The GPA strategy, working collaboratively as a partner and support the onboarding of new assets into the portfolio and the releasing of assets.

Steve Harber, Senior Director, Head of Property Management, for BNP Paribas Real Estate, said: “The GPA has an incredibly compelling vision for the management of its estate with data and accurate financial reporting, along with delivering social value for the communities it impacts, at the core of its operation.

BNP Paribas Real Estate fully shares its vision in tackling economic inequality, fighting climate change and improving health and wellbeing. Our dynamic approach will be supported by a set of critical success factors to ensure service delivery improvements, technical solutions, and sustainability innovations are achieved across the contract lifecycle. We are incredibly excited to support The GPA in realising the estate’s full potential in the years to come, and help it to deliver on its strategic objectives, which include building economic growth across the UK, working with its clients to reduce their carbon footprint, and reshaping the relationship civil servants have with their place of work."

Vanessa Forster, GPA Contract Director at BNP Paribas Real Estate commented: "This contract extension allows us to continue supporting the GPA in delivering a high-performing, value-for-money, efficient and socially responsible public estate.

"Managing such a large and varied portfolio requires a deep understanding and expertise whilst coordinating delivery from operational complexity to strategic overview, but also a shared vision for what great public sector property management looks like. This extension reflects the strength of our partnership and the tangible impact we’re making together.”
