Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned research into alternative land uses and competition between those uses and residential development on development land. The work is property research consultancy, intended to inform understanding of how land may be used and the pressures affecting residential development. Delivery covers England, including its regions from the North East to the South West and London. Homes England is the buyer, and Savills (UK) Limited was selected to carry out the research. This requirement will interest property research and consultancy firms with knowledge of land markets, development and competing land uses. The procurement is for a defined research assignment rather than construction, land acquisition or general estate agency services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a selective competitive tender. Savills (UK) Limited received the contract, with an award date of 6 August 2026 and a value of £48,360. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The recorded award value and period are consistent across the award information. The requirement was presented as a single research assignment, with no lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The award information does not describe the evaluation criteria or how bids were scored.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for research on alternative land uses and the competition for development land, particularly where residential development is one potential use. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need strong property-market research capability, an understanding of land use and development economics, and the ability to assess how competing uses affect residential land. Experience producing evidence and analysis for public-sector land or housing decisions would be relevant to establishing credibility. The award shows that the work was commissioned as a focused consultancy assignment, rather than a major delivery or construction programme, and that an SME could be suitable. Firms able to combine robust research with practical knowledge of England’s land markets would be well placed to compete when this specific requirement next arises.
