Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned professional services to produce the evidence needed for a public consultation on whether to establish a Greater Oxford Development Corporation or use alternative delivery arrangements. The work covers a gap analysis, governance and organisational structure for the proposed development corporation, supporting assessment of how development could be delivered across Greater Oxford. It falls within real estate services and is being delivered in the United Kingdom. The commissioning organisation is Homes England, the public authority responsible for the requirement. The scope is advisory and analytical rather than construction or direct property delivery: suppliers would need to examine existing arrangements, identify gaps, and provide structured evidence to inform decisions about future development governance and delivery.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a competitive selective process, using a below-threshold award under a framework. The single requirement was awarded to Deloitte LLP. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 17 July to 30 November 2026, with a maximum extension date of 31 May 2027. Its value is £103,000 excluding VAT and £123,600 including VAT. Homes England may extend the commission if additional duties or services emerge during the work and instructs the supplier to undertake them. The contract is active, while the tender is complete. The published procurement information does not set out scored evaluation criteria or a separate award weighting.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for specialist advisory support at the intersection of real estate, public-sector development, governance and consultation. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to analyse development and delivery arrangements, identify evidence gaps, assess organisational and governance models, and present clear findings for public consultation and policy decisions. Relevant experience would include advising public authorities or development bodies on large-scale place-based development, institutional design, delivery structures and stakeholder-facing evidence. Firms should be able to combine property and regeneration knowledge with robust research, gap analysis, concise report writing and senior-level advice. The requirement is suited to an established professional services team able to manage a focused advisory commission and respond to additional related tasks as the client’s needs develop.
