Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned financial advisory services for Project Skylark, a pilot transaction under the Guarantees Programme for the National Housing Bank. The appointed adviser is to provide independent financial analysis and credit risk analysis relating to an existing guaranteed financing arrangement. This is a financial services requirement, within Homes England’s Property, Financial and Development Services Framework, Lot 2. The work is delivered in England and supports Homes England’s housing finance and guarantee activity. The buyer is Homes England, the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and is classified under CPV 66000000, financial and insurance services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. Savills (UK) Ltd was selected on 7 August 2026 for £104,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 23 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the Project Skylark financial adviser requirement and its independent financial and credit risk analysis of an existing guaranteed financing arrangement. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot award, with one supplier named for the stated value and contract period.

This award shows demand from Homes England for specialist financial advice supporting guaranteed housing finance transactions. Businesses competing for comparable work would need to demonstrate credible capability in independent financial analysis, credit risk assessment and review of existing financing arrangements. Relevant experience should include advising on guarantee-backed transactions, assessing financial strength and identifying or explaining credit risks in a clear, independent manner. A supplier would also need sufficient capacity to deliver focused advisory work for a defined pilot transaction, while understanding the public-sector housing and development context. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so specialist advisory firms may be well placed where they can evidence the necessary expertise and independence.
