Summary of the contracting process

Home Group is currently in the planning stage of procuring construction-related consultant services to support their new build development programme in both England and Scotland. Operating as a public authority under sub-central government, Home Group is seeking insights through pre-market engagement (PME) for a planned project titled "Home Group Construction Consultants Sourcing 2026". Potential suppliers are encouraged to provide feedback via a questionnaire accessible through the ProContract Portal by the deadline of 27th February 2026. This process is designed to develop specifications and a procurement approach best suited to current market conditions. The initiative, documented on 6th February 2026, aims to refine strategies for eventual service procurements set to commence from 1st September 2026, spanning a four-year contract period until 31st August 2030.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses offering architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The framework is particularly favourable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the suitability criteria specified. The project's value is estimated at £8,000,000 (gross £9,600,000), indicating substantial financial potential. Businesses with expertise in Employer's Agent services and other construction-related consultant services are fitting candidates to benefit from this opportunity. As Home Group seeks to engage in meaningful consultation, participating businesses can shape the future of this procurement and diversify their portfolios across multiple UK regions through this planned framework.
