UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Homes England commissioned a report-writing campaign covering email, intranet and blog content. The work is business writing and communications content, rather than a general marketing or consultancy assignment. The buyer is Homes England, the public authority responsible for the procurement. Delivery is across England, spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is recorded as one lot and classified under business services. It centres on producing written reports and associated communication copy for Homes England’s internal and external channels.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The First Word Agency Ltd. It used a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT (£24,000 including VAT). The single lot covers the report-writing campaign, including email, intranet and blog writing. The published procurement information does not set out eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so no specific assessment basis can be reported. The award is active and the contract is active.

For agencies and independent providers specialising in business writing, this award demonstrates Homes England’s demand for a focused campaign producing report and communication content across email, intranet and blog channels. A credible competitor would need to show the editorial range to write for both internal and external audiences, and the practical ability to deliver consistent, clear copy across several formats. The requirement is a single, bounded service rather than a large multi-lot programme, making it relevant to smaller agencies as well as larger communications suppliers. Experience translating organisational information into readable reports and channel-appropriate content would be useful evidence of fit. The successful supplier was a small business, showing that this scale of writing work can be delivered by an SME.
