UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England engaged a secondee to work at National Housing Bank Limited as a case manager in its Distressed Investment Team. This is a specialist business-services role supporting the handling of distressed investments. The work is associated with National Housing Bank Limited and covers locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Homes England. The published scope identifies the secondee role and team but does not set out further case-management duties.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Homes England awarded the work to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 16 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. Its stated value is £132,000 excluding VAT and £158,400 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the secondee role; no separate evaluation criteria are set out for this award.

For firms considering a similar future requirement from Homes England, this award demonstrates demand for a secondee able to work as a case manager within a distressed investment team at National Housing Bank Limited. A credible provider would need to supply an appropriately experienced professional who can work on distressed investment cases and integrate into the client team. The awarded supplier was a large professional services firm, indicating that a sizeable consultancy was selected for this engagement; the published scope does not establish specific accreditations, qualifications, team size or other selection requirements. The work spans multiple English regions, so suppliers should be able to support activity across that geographical footprint. The procurement route was a below-threshold direct award without competition, rather than a competed tender.
