Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned technical due diligence for its land at Hillhurst Green in Kent. The work is a professional technical assessment supporting the agency’s consideration of the site; the procurement classifies it as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Homes England is the buying organisation, and the site is in Kent, England. The requirement concerns due diligence on this specific landholding rather than general consultancy across a range of sites. It is a services contract, with the site and its technical assessment at the centre of the work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AtkinsRéalis Limited. Homes England selected the supplier through a procurement route described as not applicable, and the award date was 7 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £236,445.09. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 14 April 2027. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 13:00. The procurement was for one requirement, with no separate lots identified. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to undertake the work; no evaluation criteria or detailed assessment basis are recorded in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for technical due diligence on a specific land site in Kent, at a scale requiring a substantive professional services commission. Competitors would need credible expertise in technical assessment of land and the ability to produce the due diligence Homes England needs to inform its decisions about a site. The selected supplier, AtkinsRéalis Limited, is recorded as a large organisation, while small and medium-sized enterprises were also considered suitable for the requirement. That makes relevant specialist capability and the capacity to deliver the commission more important indicators of fit than company size alone. Firms with experience undertaking comparable technical due diligence for public-sector landowners would be well placed to compete when this buyer next requires this type of work.
