Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned technical services to support the Cowling Farm development site in Chorley. The requirement covers further technical due diligence across four areas: utilities, foul water, the surface-water drainage outfall, and ecology, including biodiversity net gain. It is an engineering, construction and inspection service, with the procurement classified under CPV 71000000. Homes England, the public body responsible for the requirement, is based in Salford, while the work relates to the Cowling Farm site in Chorley, England. The scope is suited to consultancies that can coordinate multidisciplinary technical investigations for a development site, assess infrastructure and drainage constraints, and provide environmental and biodiversity advice relevant to planning and development decisions.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Stantec UK Limited on 24 July 2026. The awarded value is £19,386.99 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 30 July 2026 to 4 September 2026. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, and its recorded procurement method detail is “Not applicable”. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, with Homes England as the buyer and Stantec UK Limited as the selected supplier. The work was associated with a tender closing deadline of 23 July 2026 at 23:59, before the award was made.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for focused technical due diligence supporting a housing or development site, rather than a single narrow consultancy discipline. Suppliers competing for comparable work should be able to bring practical expertise in utilities assessment, foul-water infrastructure, surface-water drainage outfalls, ecology and biodiversity net gain. Credible teams are likely to need the capacity to combine engineering and environmental findings into clear advice that supports development planning and risk management. The requirement is small enough in scope for an SME consultancy or a specialist-led multidisciplinary team, while firms with reliable coordination across infrastructure and ecological work would be well placed. Experience of technical investigations for development sites and of presenting evidence for public-sector decisions would strengthen a future submission.
