Through a series of podcasts, webinars, whitepapers and roundtables, this partnership has created space for leaders across central government, local authorities, education, healthcare, Blue light, and more to explore challenges and discuss solutions to the future of estates.
Our joint podcast series captured a diverse range of voices and perspectives, from those safeguarding iconic heritage sites to innovators leading digital transformation.
Highlights included:
Episodes exploring the stories of the Cabinet Office at 70 Whitehall, the UK Parliament estate, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, the Barbican Centre, and the University of Cambridge.
Examining how the Premises Assurance Model is reshaping estates management in healthcare.
Conversations with leaders from across blue light services, education, NHS, local government, and central government, showing how data-driven strategies are driving smarter estate planning.
Offering guidance on navigating procurement to ensure organisations adopt future-proof solutions.

To complement the podcasts and webinars, we ran regional roundtables under the theme “See the Bigger Picture.”
In London and in Liverpool, estates leaders across sectors gathered to discuss how strategic leadership can unlock more effective, efficient, and sustainable estates management. These sessions created candid conversations about challenges and solutions, informed by real-world experiences across the public sector.
In the Estates 2.0 whitepaper, we look at the key considerations when developing a future-looking estates strategy across the public sector, including the NHS, central government, local government, blue light and justice, education, and housing.
This series has been more than just a set of online and in-person events - it has been a conversation about the future.
As pressures on public sector estates grow - from decarbonisation targets to budget constraints - data and digital tools will play an increasingly vital role.
Concerto remains committed to helping organisations see the bigger picture, enabling them to manage their estates not just for today, but for decades to come.
