Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned specialist financial and subsidy-control advisory services for Project Skylark, a pilot transaction under the Guarantees Programme for the National Housing Bank. The work involved building on existing analysis and assessing how a loan guarantee would be viewed under the Subsidy Control Act. This is a professional services requirement within the financial and insurance services category. The work relates to Homes England’s property, financial and development monitoring services framework, specifically its subsidy-control assessment requirement. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Homes England, the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is relevant to firms providing public-sector financial advice, subsidy-control analysis, loan-guarantee advice or related regulatory assessment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a selective, below-threshold call-off from an existing framework, without a competitive process for this requirement. It covered Lot 2, Project Skylark Subsidy Control Assessment. KPMG LLP was awarded the contract on 21 August 2026. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026, runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 October 2026, and is active. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The tender and lot are recorded as complete. The award relates to financial and insurance services delivered in the United Kingdom. The published information describes the requirement and framework route, but does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

This award signals demand from Homes England for advisers able to assess the subsidy-control implications of public financial interventions, particularly loan guarantees connected with housing and development finance. A credible future competitor would need strong knowledge of the Subsidy Control Act and its application to guarantees, lending and government-backed finance, together with the ability to test and explain whether a proposed transaction is compliant. Relevant capability includes financial modelling or analysis, regulatory interpretation, written advice for public authorities and experience working with complex property, housing or development-finance transactions. Firms should also be able to take existing analysis, identify gaps and produce a clear assessment for a pilot transaction. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that substantial professional-services capacity and public-sector advisory experience are well suited to this requirement.
