Summary of the contracting process

Homes England procured access to a fully integrated platform containing national commercial property market data. The service supports analysis of market performance at three levels: individual buildings, local-authority sub-markets and wider markets. It is a commercial real-estate data and information service, delivered through a single platform rather than a construction or property development contract. The requirement covers England, with activity across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buyer is Homes England, the public authority responsible for the requirement. The service is classified within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support, so relevant suppliers are those providing specialist property-market data platforms and associated technical support.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one completed lot. Homes England awarded the service to COSTAR UK LIMITED, and the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The active contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 1 August 2027. Its value is £18,000 excluding VAT and £21,600 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies CoStar UK as the selected supplier. The contract covers access to the commercial real-estate performance database and its integrated national property-market data platform, including analysis at building, local-authority sub-market and market level.

This award shows demand from Homes England for a specialist commercial property intelligence platform that combines national market data in one integrated service. A credible competitor would need reliable coverage of commercial property markets across England, with data that can support analysis at building, local-authority sub-market and wider market level. The requirement also points to the importance of a usable digital platform, structured data access and dependable IT support, rather than a standalone consultancy report. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have established property-market datasets, proven analytical capability, software or platform delivery experience, and the technical capacity to maintain an integrated service for a public-sector user. Experience serving large organisations and supporting repeat access to market-performance information would strengthen a future proposition.
