Summary of the contracting process

Homes England, operating under the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, conducted a public procurement process for the "Sustainability Change Programme Discovery" initiative. This project focuses on integrating sustainability and design principles within the organisation over a 12-week Discovery phase. The procurement, classified under Architectural, Construction, Engineering and Inspection Services (CPV code: 71000000), utilised an open procedure and concluded the tender stage with award status as active. WSP UK Limited was awarded the contract worth £30,000. Geographically, the delivery is centred in England, United Kingdom, with the contract period running from 5 January 2026 to 31 March 2026.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in consultancy services related to sustainability, architectural design, and engineering. Since the process employed an open procedure, it was accessible to a wide range of businesses, although its suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) providers is limited, indicating preference towards larger organisations. Businesses with robust capabilities in non-digital sustainability consulting would have been prime contenders for this contract, underscoring the potential for forging strong partnerships within the region.
