Estates and Facilities Management

The vast majority of these are occupied under the terms of the PRIME (Private Sector Resource Initiative for Management of the Estate) contract which took effect in April 1998 and runs for 20 years. The contract is held by Telereal Trillium.

Via the PRIME contract, DWP Estates has overall responsibility for the provision of fully serviced accommodation for most of DWP including Jobcentre Plus, The Pension Service and the corporate centre. This responsibility also extends to most of the estate occupied by the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission.
