Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torus Group commissioned business and management consultancy to develop a joint venture business case involving Torus and Homes England. The work is classed as consultancy services and is to be delivered in the North West of England. The buyer is Torus Group, based in St Helens. The requirement centres on a business case for a specific housing-sector joint venture; it is not a general consultancy assignment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to KPMG UK Limited. The award date was 14 September 2026, and the contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £96,000. The tender deadline was 14 September 2026. Torus Group stated that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement data does not describe the evaluation criteria or a named procurement procedure.

For future requirements of this kind, relevant suppliers would need to demonstrate they can develop a robust joint venture business case for a housing organisation working with Homes England. Credibility would rest on business and management consultancy capability applied to this specific partnership context, rather than general advisory work alone. The award shows Torus Group bought a focused piece of consultancy from a large supplier, with delivery over a defined contract period. The stated unsuitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises suggests that businesses assessing similar work should consider whether they can meet the buyer’s expectations for scale and delivery capacity.
