Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office commissioned research and evaluation services for the Asylum Accommodation Programme, covering its large and medium sites. The work is intended to evaluate the programme rather than provide accommodation or construction services. The requirement sits within the professional research services market, with CPV classification 73110000. Delivery is in London, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Home Office, based at 2 Marsham Street, London. This is therefore relevant to research consultancies, evaluation specialists and organisations with experience assessing public programmes, particularly those able to examine asylum accommodation provision across sites of different sizes. It is not primarily an opportunity for accommodation operators, builders or general facilities-management providers.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure, as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 29 July 2026 to Ecorys UK Limited for £136,856.25 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 15:00. The published requirement identified services for evaluating the Asylum Accommodation Programme’s large and medium sites, with a total procurement value of £136,856.25. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Ecorys UK Limited is the selected supplier and the award is active.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear indication that the Home Office buys externally delivered evaluation of asylum accommodation programmes, including work spanning large and medium sites. The requirement points to a market for research organisations that can design and deliver robust public-sector evaluations, gather and analyse evidence across multiple accommodation locations, and turn findings into clear conclusions for a government client. Experience of asylum accommodation, migration, housing, public services or related policy delivery would help a competitor demonstrate relevance, while strong project management and evidence-based reporting would support credible delivery. The procurement route also shows that smaller research and evaluation businesses can be considered for this type of work.
