Summary of the contracting process

Homes England, the buying organisation and a governmental agency based in Gateshead, recently completed a contract process titled "Homes England - Legal Framework Lot 1". The procurement, classified under the legal services industry category with a CPV code of 79100000, was aimed at acquiring legal acquisition advice for land assembly across England, United Kingdom. The procurement moved from tender to award stage, resulting in Clarke Willmott LLP securing the contract. The tender process concluded on 25th June 2025, with the contract set to run from 4th August 2025 to 2nd June 2028, having a total value of £151,336. This contract was tailored towards small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), though it was ultimately awarded to Clarke Willmott, a large-scale supplier.

This contract presents numerous opportunities for legal firms specialising in land assembly and related services. The focus on providing acquisition advice indicates potential for firms with expertise in property law and regulatory compliance to offer valuable support to Homes England. SMEs particularly stand to gain from future tender opportunities due to the procurement's openness to small and medium businesses. While the contract was awarded to a large firm this time, smaller legal practices could still compete effectively in similar tenders by showcasing niche expertise and competitive pricing strategies, ultimately aiding in their business growth within public sector contracts.
