Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "Homes England - DARTS - Station Campus" has been awarded by Homes England, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It falls under the Architectural, Construction, Engineering and Inspection Services category, with an awarded value of £116,560. The contract pertains to consultancy support for the preparation of a Full Business Case (FBC) for a Station Campus, delivered via direct appointment through the DARTS framework. Although the procurement method details are noted as 'Not applicable', this contract is already in the award stage, having been active since 30 May 2025 and running until 30 October 2025.

This tender offers lucrative opportunities for large consultancy firms specialised in architectural and engineering services to engage directly with government projects and expand their portfolios. The direct appointment through existing frameworks like DARTS minimises entry barriers and streamlines processes for suitable businesses, such as large firms capable of delivering complex consultancy support on government infrastructure projects. As small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are identified as not suitable for this tender, larger companies, particularly those with experience in public sector consultancy, are well-positioned to benefit from similar opportunities with Homes England.
