Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned institutional investment data services to support the National Housing Bank. The requirement is classified as research and development and related consultancy services, covering the provision and use of investment data for a public housing finance initiative. Homes England is the public sector buyer. Delivery covers England, with the listed locations spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The work is therefore relevant to suppliers providing institutional investment intelligence, market data, research or associated consultancy to public bodies, housing finance organisations or investment programmes. It is a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement, and the selected supplier is MSCI Limited.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Homes England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. MSCI Limited received the award on 7 July 2026 for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender assessment. The recorded outcome identifies MSCI Limited as the supplier for the institutional investment data and related research and consultancy services supporting the National Housing Bank.

This procurement signals demand from Homes England for specialist institutional investment data to inform the National Housing Bank. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need reliable access to institutional investment information, the ability to provide structured and decision-ready market intelligence, and experience interpreting data for public-sector housing finance or investment decisions. Relevant competitors may include investment data providers, research firms and consultancies with established analytical capability. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that data is authoritative, current, sufficiently broad for England-wide use and suitable for supporting strategic decisions, rather than simply offering generic research. Experience working with government bodies, housing finance institutions or large investment programmes would help a supplier show it can meet the buyer’s operational and policy needs.
