Summary of the contracting process

The Home Group Principal Designer Services Framework pertains to the procurement of architectural and related services across various regions in the United Kingdom. The framework, established by Home Group, seeks experienced consultants to provide Principal Designer services under Construction Design Management 2015 (PD CDM) and Building Regulations (PD BR) along with Client Advisor services for housing projects, which may include new builds, regeneration, conversions, and refurbishments. The procurement process, identified by the ID DN748909, followed an open procedure method and received submissions until 19th December 2024. The procurement has progressed through the tender stage and includes multiple lots covering the North and South of England, Scotland, and specific English territories, each with a designated contract period.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth in the construction, architecture, and engineering sectors, particularly for those capable of handling extensive housing projects. Businesses specialising in construction-related services, with competence in PD CDM and PD BR, are ideally suited to compete. The framework aims to engage multiple suppliers, awarding a maximum of two lots per supplier, thus encouraging SMEs like Bernard Taylor Partnership and Arcus Consulting LLP, who have already been awarded contracts under this framework. Participating will enable firms to strengthen their market presence while contributing to critical infrastructure projects across diverse UK regions.
