Leading commercial property consultancy Hartnell Taylor Cook has been reappointed on Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) RM6343 Estate Management Services 2 framework. The firm has been named on five lots on the framework, and is on the “taxi rank” in four of these lots:

- Lot 4 – Surveying and Strategic Advice: Professional surveying, valuations, feasibility studies, and strategic property guidance.
- Lot 6 – Business Rating Services: Providing business rates assessments, appeals, and optimisation strategies for public sector clients – Taxi rank
CCS’s framework allows central government departments, local authorities, and other public sector organisations to access trusted suppliers, simplifying procurement and ensuring value for money.
Crown Commercial Service supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2024/25, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £5.3 billion – supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.
Being named as a supplier on the new agreement builds on Hartnell Taylor Cook’s existing public sector success as a current supplier under the NHS’ HPCCAS framework, existing CCS framework, and Homes England’s Property & Financial Professional Services framework agreement.
Commenting on the success, Kate Flaherty, Director of Bids & Public Sector at Hartnell Taylor Cook said: “As growing our public sector remit is a priority, this is a significant milestone for Hartnell Taylor Cook. Our place on the framework reflects the expertise and capability we’ve built across our service lines and will allow us to further nurture our relationship with the public sector.”
Jonathan Marwood, Partner, added: “The inclusion of Lot 6 is particularly pleasing as it allows us to bring our business rates expertise to a wider range of public sector organisations. Combined with our Taxi Rank positions, we are well placed to continue to support the public sector achieve better value from their estates.”
