Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what competitive processes were followed leading up to the sale of
former Department of Social Security buildings to LandSecurities Trillium; and which other bidders were involved. [189415]
Maria Eagle: In April 1996, the Departmental Board of the former Department of Social Security agreed a feasibility study to
identify and examine a range of options for the future management of the DSS Estate. The study, known as PRIME (Private Sector
Resource Initiative for Management of the Estate), concluded that greater efficiency could be achieved if both ownership and
management of the Estate was transferred to the private sector.
The opportunity was advertised on 28 June 1996 in the Financial Times and in the European Journal in accordance with EEC/GATT
rules. Thirty initial written response were received, and a sift exercise was completed, from which six candidates were chosen.
Three consortia were selected to go forward to the final selection process. However, all three consortia had placed a lot of
conditions on their tender submissions which could have had a material effect on the final price. It was agreed, therefore, to
extend the procurement process to a fourth stage. Consequently, two consortia, Mapeley Holdings Ltd. and PPM (Partnership Property
Management Ltd.), now known as LandSecurities Trillium, were invited to submit best and final offers which removed all conditions.
Following evaluation of the tenders, Trillium was chosen as preferred supplier. This was endorsed by the Departmental Board at their
July meeting and, after obtaining Ministerial agreement, an announcement was made on 31 July 1997. The finer details of the
contract were negotiated through to December and an agreement was formally signed at mid-day on Christmas Eve.
The evaluation process was a tightly controlled three stage procedure and included eight review groups with technical and
operational representatives from across DSS, and who were independent from the project team.

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what discussions his Department is having with Land Security
Trillium concerning the (a) vacation and (b) alternative use of the Department's buildings. [190882]
Maria Eagle: DWP has established a range of forums at different levels of management, where the nature and timing of the vacation of
accommodation is discussed with LandSecurities Trillium. In addition to these discussions Office of Government Commerce (OGC) is
advised of the Department's intention to vacate such accommodation.
The policy of disposing of all surplus accommodation as early as possible is in keeping with the Department's Estate Strategy and
seeks to deliver cost savings with minimum delay.
Where the property concerned is ineligible for surrender to LandSecurities Trillium, due to Contractual constraints, the department
reports the available space to OGC for inclusion on their register of vacant Civil Estate. This is then circulated to those
departments seeking accommodation who also register their requirement with OGC.
In its discussions with LandSecurities Trillium the Department explores, wherever possible, the possibility of alternative Planning
use if that would enhance the sale price.
