Willmott Dixon and SCAPE enter 20th year of partnership

Established in 2006, the Willmott Dixon and SCAPE partnership has enabled the delivery of almost 600 public sector projects across England and Wales, with a combined value of more than £6bn.

Together the businesses have helped to deliver schools, blue-light, health and defence facilities, town centre regeneration schemes and community assets.

Since 2006, Willmott Dixon has delivered £672m in social return on investment through SCAPE-procured schemes, supporting communities local to its projects. The organisation’s work has maintained a strong local focus, with £1.6bn spent within 20 miles of SCAPE-procured project sites, 93% of project spend with SMEs and 55% of project labour sourced locally – ensuring the benefits of its work are felt directly by the people and places it serves.

High-quality outcomes are further demonstrated by ambitious sustainability standards achieved on projects, proven through well-recognised certifications such as WELL Platinum. This is the case at Willmott Dixon’s £55m project for Hertfordshire Constabulary to redevelop its headquarters, which is expected to complete next year – when Willmott Dixon and SCAPE will celebrate a full 20 years of partnership.

Mark Robinson, group chief executive at SCAPE, said: 'This remarkable milestone represents over two decades of strong collaboration with Willmott Dixon, resulting in the successful delivery of nearly 600 projects — from the flagship £12.8m Riga office development in Gateshead to the £28m refurbishment of the West Midlands Police headquarters. Generating £672m in social return on investment speaks volumes about the value and positive change this partnership continues to deliver— not just for our clients, but for local communities across the UK – and is something we are incredibly proud to be a part of.'

Shared aspirations around sustainability and social value have been key to the partnership’s success. In support of the UK’s net-zero aims and to meet customer ambitions, the partnership has delivered innovative projects, including:
