Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned property advice for Otterpool Park Garden Town in Kent. This is a real estate consultancy service supporting the garden town project; the recorded requirement is for property advice, without a more detailed breakdown of the work. Homes England is the buyer, and the work relates to Otterpool Park in Kent. The procurement is classified as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The project gives property advisory firms a direct example of Homes England’s involvement in a major place-making development and its need for specialist property input. The requirement is focused on advice for this specific development rather than a broad property services programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Montagu Evans LLP. The award date was 13 May 2026. The awarded contract value is £42,000, and the contract period runs from 14 May to 31 October 2026. The estimated tender value was also £42,000. Bids were due by 20 April 2026. The recorded procurement method is “Not applicable”; no other procedure or evaluation basis is described. The requirement was procured as a single, unlottted service, with no lots recorded. The award is active. The process therefore provides an outcome and a defined short contract period for the property advice requirement at Otterpool Park Garden Town.

For property consultancies considering similar work for Homes England, this award demonstrates demand for focused property advice connected with a garden town development in Kent. A credible competitor would need relevant property advisory capability and the capacity to support a defined project requirement over a short delivery period. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, while the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms may also be relevant if they can demonstrate appropriate expertise and delivery capacity. Experience advising on property matters for complex development or regeneration projects would help establish fit with the requirement; this is a practical positioning point, rather than a stated mandatory qualification. The commercial opportunity is a specialist advisory commission, not a construction or property acquisition contract.
