Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned Lot 2 services to support preparation of a planning application for the Meadow Lane brownfield regeneration site in Nottingham. The work falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000), with planning and development advice central to the requirement. Delivery is in Nottingham, England. This is a professional services opportunity for firms able to contribute to the preparation of planning applications for brownfield regeneration, rather than a construction contract for carrying out the redevelopment itself. The buying organisation is Homes England, formally named Homes England (the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to David Lock Associates on 4 August 2026. The award value is £225,603, and the contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 29 December 2028. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The procurement covered services and was identified as Lot 2; its recorded procurement method details are “Not applicable”. The award is active. The published requirement had an estimated value of £225,603, matching the awarded value. The outcome shows that Homes England selected a single supplier for the planning-application support services for Meadow Lane, Nottingham.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for specialist planning-application support connected with brownfield regeneration in Nottingham. Firms competing for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need capability across the professional disciplines identified for the work: architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. They would also need practical experience of preparing planning applications for regeneration sites and coordinating the technical inputs needed to support them. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a specialist SME with relevant planning and multidisciplinary capability could be well placed. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can provide this focused service for the full requirement, rather than only construction delivery.
