Summary of the contracting process

Homes England appointed a financial adviser for Project Skylark, a pilot transaction under its Guarantees Programme for the National Housing Bank. The work is to provide independent financial and credit-risk analysis of an existing guaranteed financing arrangement. It falls within financial management consultancy services and is part of Homes England’s property, financial and development services framework, Lot 2. The contracting authority and buyer is Homes England (the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency). Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Homes England used a selective route to award work under an existing framework; the award was non-competitive and below threshold. Savills (UK) Ltd was selected. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 11 August to 23 October 2026. Its value is £104,000 excluding VAT (£124,800 including VAT). The award relates to Lot 2, for the Project Skylark financial adviser service. Evaluation criteria and supplier eligibility requirements are not stated in the published process data.

For firms competing for comparable Homes England work, this award shows demand for independent financial and credit-risk analysis of guaranteed financing, specifically in support of a National Housing Bank pilot. Credible suppliers would need demonstrable financial advisory capability, the expertise to analyse credit risk and financing arrangements, and the independence to provide objective advice. The work was delivered through Homes England’s property, financial and development services framework, so experience operating within a framework route is relevant. Savills (UK) Ltd, a large supplier, was selected for this assignment, indicating that the buyer placed the requirement with an established provider; the data does not set out formal accreditation, capacity thresholds or detailed selection tests.
