Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned specialist professional advice and guidance to inform its development strategy for Quayside West in Newcastle. The work is a real estate advisory service, focused on the development strategy for this site. Homes England is the public sector buyer. The procurement covers one lot, and the stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; the description identifies the project location as Quayside West, Newcastle. The selected supplier is Cushman & Wakefield, a large professional services firm. The requirement is for tailored strategic advice rather than a stated construction or property transaction. It is relevant to consultancies with real estate and development advisory capability, particularly those able to advise public-sector clients on the strategy for a specific development site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Cushman & Wakefield. Homes England used a selective route, making the award under a framework agreement. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. There was one lot, awarded as a single contract. The available process information does not state the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements, so no selection basis beyond the framework award route can be described. This is a below-threshold contract. The award is active, and the contract is recorded as active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows Homes England’s demand for bespoke real estate advice to shape development strategy at Quayside West in Newcastle. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate strong property and development advisory expertise, the ability to provide tailored strategic guidance for a defined site, and experience advising a public-sector land and development client. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, and the procurement used a framework award rather than a standalone open competition; suppliers seeking similar work should therefore be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. The requirement is a focused professional advisory assignment, not a delivery contract for construction or ongoing property operations. коммерческий fit rests on relevant site-development insight and the capacity to deliver concise, decision-supporting advice.
