Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned a research and evaluation service to improve how it assesses additionality at scheme level, particularly by reviewing the outcomes of previous place-based interventions. The work concerns strategic research, evaluation and economics, with a focus on understanding the additional impacts generated by Homes England schemes rather than simply measuring their direct outputs. It falls within business consultancy services, including research, economic analysis and evaluation, and is classified under CPV 79000000. Delivery covers England. Homes England, the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, is the buying organisation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist research consultancies, economists, evaluators and organisations with experience of place-based regeneration or public investment assessment.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a tender process. Homes England selected AMION Consulting Limited, an SME, on 21 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £230,470. The contract runs from 2 October 2026 to 31 December 2027. The original tender had a submission deadline of 7 August 2026 at 17:30. The procurement was for services and was assessed as a single requirement rather than being divided into separately described lots. The requirement is for additionality research and evaluation at scheme level, including analysis of outcomes from past interventions. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for delivering the commissioned research for Homes England across England.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for specialist evidence on whether place-based interventions generate benefits beyond what would otherwise have occurred. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in additionality assessment, economic evaluation, programme or scheme-level research and analysis of outcomes from completed public interventions. Relevant experience in housing, regeneration, regional development or public investment would help demonstrate understanding of the policy context, while robust quantitative and qualitative research methods would be important for producing defensible findings. The requirement also suits an SME-sized consultancy, indicating that a focused specialist firm can compete with larger providers where it can show strong analytical expertise, clear evaluation practice and the capacity to deliver strategic research for a national public-sector housing and regeneration body.
