UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Home Group is seeking legal services to establish a multi-supplier framework for housing disrepair legal support. The requirement is intended for legal practices able to advise and represent housing providers on housing disrepair matters. Services will be delivered across the United Kingdom. Home Group, a public authority operating in the housing sector, is the buying organisation. The framework is designed to provide access to legal support through direct awards or further competition, depending on the supplier’s capacity and the urgency of the work. It is a single-service requirement and is classified as legal services. The opportunity may suit established housing, property, social housing or claimant-facing legal teams with relevant disrepair expertise and the ability to support work nationally.

The process reached tender: Home Group invited offers through an open procedure. It is a light-touch services procurement for a closed framework with a maximum of seven participants. The enquiry deadline was 9 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date was 30 October 2026. The framework contract period is 6 November 2026 to 5 November 2027, with two possible one-year extensions, giving a maximum end date of 5 November 2029. Its estimated value is £1,750,000 excluding VAT, or £2,100,000 including VAT. Quality carries 70% of the evaluation weighting and cost 30%. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits legal firms with demonstrated expertise in housing disrepair law and the resources to provide responsive advice, casework and representation for a housing-sector client. Home Group states that the framework may use direct awards or mini-competitions, depending on supplier capacity and the urgency of each requirement, so firms should be able to manage both allocated work and competitive call-offs. The framework is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, widening its relevance beyond large national practices. Strong service quality is particularly important because quality accounts for most of the evaluation weighting. Firms with a UK-wide delivery capability, suitable housing legal teams and enough operational capacity to respond to urgent instructions are well placed to compete.
