The work is a professional technical assessment supporting the agency’s consideration of the site; the procurement classifies it as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Homes England is the buying organisation, and the site is in Kent, England. The requirement concerns due diligence on this specific landholding rather than general consultancy across a range of sites. It is a services contract, with the site and its technical assessment at the centre of the work. The procurement is complete and was awarded to AtkinsRéalis Limited. Homes England selected the supplier through a procurement route described as not applicable, and the award date was 7 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £236,445.09. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 14 April 2027. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 13:00. The procurement was for one requirement, with no separate lots identified. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to undertake the work; no evaluation criteria or detailed assessment basis are recorded in the process information. This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for technical due diligence on a specific land site in Kent, at a scale requiring a substantive professional services commission. Competitors would need credible expertise in technical assessment of land and the ability to produce the due diligence Homes England needs to inform its decisions about a site. The selected supplier, AtkinsRéalis Limited, is recorded as a large organisation, while small and medium-sized enterprises were also considered suitable for the requirement. That makes relevant specialist capability and the capacity to deliver the commission more important indicators of fit than company size alone. Firms with experience undertaking comparable technical due diligence for public-sector landowners would be well placed to compete when this buyer next requires this type of work. ## Notice Technical due diligence for Homes England's land at Hillhurst Green, Kent T&C for Homes England Frameworks: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/homes-england-contracts-and-tenders ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab1a5368-9501-4e77-8427-6564df0a43d5 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Oct 2026 | | Contract period | 12 Oct 2026 - 14 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £236,445 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £236,445 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Homes England (the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency) | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Postcode area | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE4 5BZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Arthur's Hill | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | AtkinsRéalis UK Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 15 Oct 2026 at 12:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab1a5368-9501-4e77-8427-6564df0a43d5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ab1a5368-9501-4e77-8427-6564df0a43d5 15th October 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/homes-england-contracts-and-tenders ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
