In plain English
Homes England, the government body that funds and supports new housing in England, has paid a supplier £105,000 to develop and test new ways of building and delivering homes. The work is a one-off project to trial innovative approaches, and the contract was given straight to one chosen supplier without a competition.
What the buyer wants
• Develop and test prototype models for delivering new housing, with a focus on innovative approaches. • Produce findings, evidence and recommendations that Homes England can use to shape future housing delivery. • Work with Homes England staff to explain and share the outcomes of the prototypes.
Requirements
Named in the buyer's notice:
- Professional indemnity insurance
- Demonstrable experience in housing delivery or development policy
- Experience working with central government bodies
- Cyber Essentials certification
- Data protection compliance (UK GDPR)
What could rule a small business out: The contract has already been awarded to a single chosen supplier without competition, so there is no open route for a small business to bid and no realistic way in for most firms.
