What the project is for

As a result of an impending lease-end, the NCA must leave its existing London Headquarters in Spring Gardens, Vauxhall. But it is, in any case, end of life, too big for NCA needs, expensive to run and unable to adapt to future needs due to factors such as the poor layout and age. The main focus for the Concordis programme is the delivery of the NCA’s new Headquarters in Stratford and transition of staff, the reconfiguration of the South Eastern Operational Branch to accommodate a joint operational partnership team, and the closure of Spring Gardens. This is part of the Agency’s broader Estates Strategy

Departmental delivery commentary

Concordis joined the GMPP, separate to the NCA Portfolio, from Q1 2025/26 due to the size, complexity and delivery status of the Programme. The delivery confidence has remained at Amber from Q1 to Q4 taking in to account that successful delivery of the programme to time, cost and quality appears feasible. Significant issues have emerged requiring management attention. These were resolvable and addressed promptly, so as not to present a cost/schedule overrun.

Schedule

Compared to financial year 24/25-Q4, the project's end-date at 25/26-Q4 remained the same. This is primarily due to managed governance models, strong RAID management and a comprehensive integrated plan.

Benefits

Concordis monetised benefits of 149.30m remained the same during the FY period 2025/26.
