1. Annual Report and Accounts 2024/25: At a glance
The Government Property Agency (GPA) published its Annual Report and Accounts (ARA) for 2024/25 on Monday, 15 September.
The ARA sets out the GPA’s progress on its mission to provide exceptional workplaces for civil servants and deliver a smaller, better, greener government office estate.
The report is also an important assessment of how the GPA is delivering its vision and mission, reviewing the agency’s activities over the course of the financial year.
Major achievements from 2024/25 include:
- Opening two new hubs to support Civil Service productivity and rationalise the estate – the GPA introduced around 10,000 civil servants into their new workplaces at the refurbished 22 Whitehall and 2 Ruskin Square in Croydon, the largest new hub delivered to date.
- Delivering savings of £33.4m per year in rent and related occupancy costs through ongoing consolidation of the London estate.
- Realising annual cash savings of £10m from routine asset management activity such as negotiating rent reductions, rent-free periods, rating appeals and service charge refunds.
- Exceeding property technology implementation targets – the GPA now captures data from over 1 million square metres of office space, supporting analysis of building utilisation. GovPass was deployed to another 11 sites, while GovWifi was made available to 170,000 more civil servants and GovPrint delivered to 70 locations in 2024/25. The agency achieved over 99.9 per cent service availability for technology products over the year.
- Advising clients on complex, internationally prestigious projects including a new headquarters for the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) in Reading.
- Leading best practice in public sector workplace experience – Quay House in Peterborough became the second GPA building to achieve Leesman+ certification.
- Developing the GPA’s people and culture, winning a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) award for ‘Best Learning and Development Initiative’.
