Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned financial and insurance advisory services for Project Skylark, a pilot transaction under the Guarantees Programme for the National Housing Bank. The work concerns building on existing analysis and assessing how the proposed loan guarantee is likely to be treated under the Subsidy Control Act. This is a specialist subsidy-control and public finance assessment rather than general financial advice or insurance provision. The buying organisation is Homes England, the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency. Delivery covers England, so relevant suppliers need to understand the English public-sector and housing-finance context and be able to advise on a transaction involving a government-backed loan guarantee.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The award was made to KPMG LLP on 24 August 2026 for GBP 50,000. The contract runs from 25 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The estimated procurement value was also GBP 50,000. The requirement formed part of Lot 2 of the Property, Financial and Development Monitoring Services Framework. It was evaluated as a direct appointment rather than through an open competition. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is KPMG LLP. The service category is financial and insurance services, with the assessment focused specifically on Subsidy Control Act treatment of the guarantee.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement indicates demand from Homes England for concise, transaction-specific advice on subsidy control in public finance. A credible future provider would need strong working knowledge of the Subsidy Control Act and its application to loan guarantees, together with experience of analysing government-backed finance or comparable housing and development transactions. The ability to review and extend existing analysis, identify the relevant legal and economic issues, and present a defensible assessment to a public-sector client would be important. Suppliers should also be able to work within a structured monitoring or advisory framework and deliver focused technical work for a pilot transaction, rather than relying only on broad policy commentary.
