Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned consultancy services from Metro Dynamics to support consultation on the Greater Oxford Development Corporation. The work covers forecasting growth parameters and contributing to the development of spatial options. These outputs will inform the evidence base for the consultation and related development planning. This is a professional business consultancy assignment, involving economic and spatial analysis rather than construction or the supply of physical goods. The work is delivered in England and is relevant to consultancies with experience in growth forecasting, development strategy, spatial planning and preparing evidence for public-sector consultations. Homes England is the buying organisation, and the requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Metro Dynamics was selected by Homes England on 16 July 2026, with an awarded contract value of £172,987. The contract runs from 17 July 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 2 July 2026. The procurement used a tender process, with the method recorded as not applicable. The contract covers a single consultancy requirement rather than separately awarded lots. Metro Dynamics is recorded as an active supplier and a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award relates to growth-parameter forecasting and the development of spatial options for the Greater Oxford Development Corporation consultation. No separate award or contract values are reported.

This award shows demand from Homes England for specialist consultancy that combines growth forecasting with spatial-options development and evidence preparation for major development consultations. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in economic analysis, development planning, spatial strategy and translating technical forecasts into clear consultation evidence. Experience of advising public bodies, managing stakeholder-sensitive consultation work and producing defensible analytical outputs would strengthen a future proposition. The requirement is suitable for an SME with a focused team rather than only a large multidisciplinary consultancy. Competitors should be able to demonstrate sound methodology, clear communication and the capacity to deliver a defined analytical assignment for Homes England within a short delivery window.
