UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned research into alternative uses of land compared with residential development. The work examines how recent viability pressures and longer-term structural constraints have affected the premium in residual land values for residential development over other uses. This is a property research service for Homes England, the public body responsible for the commission. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific place is stated. The procurement is classified as a real estate service (CPV 70000000). Its focus is land values and development viability, rather than the delivery of construction works or the purchase of land itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Savills (UK) Ltd. Homes England used a selective process below the applicable threshold, making the award under a framework; the call-off was competitive. The award date is not stated. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £48,360 excluding VAT (£58,032 including VAT). The process was organised as one lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available process details.

For firms considering similar Homes England research, this commission signals demand for property expertise that can analyse land-use choices through the lens of development viability and residual land values. A credible competitor would need to assess how current viability pressures interact with longer-term structural constraints, and compare residential development with alternative land uses. The selected supplier was Savills (UK) Ltd, a large firm, indicating that an established property-services business was chosen for this work. The research is a defined commission rather than a development or land transaction, so relevant strengths are analytical research capability and a sound understanding of property markets, land values and residential development economics. The award was made competitively under a framework.
