## Summary

Homes England, the organisation responsible for the budget, procured legal services for Project Scafell. The requirement was restructuring advice, placing it within the business legal and consultancy services market. The work is for delivery in England. The named buyer is Homes England, using the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, with its address in Newcastle upon Tyne. This is a professional-services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. It is relevant to law firms and other legal service providers with a practice focused on corporate restructuring advice and the capacity to support a public-sector client across England.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Addleshaw Goddard LLP was selected on 18 June 2026 for an award of £700,000, with an active contract running from 24 June 2026 to 17 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 16 June 2026 at 23:59. The procurement was for services, and its recorded procurement method detail was “Not applicable”. The tender’s estimated value was £700,000, matching the awarded value. The contract covers the Project Scafell restructuring advice requirement. Homes England recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete.

This award provides a clear indication that Homes England has purchased specialist legal advice for a restructuring project at substantial scale, using a large law firm rather than an SME or voluntary-sector provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable expertise in restructuring advice, sufficient senior legal capacity to handle a complex project, and the operational ability to deliver services across England. Firms should assess whether their restructuring team can support a public-sector buyer, manage a substantial advisory mandate and evidence comparable capability through their legal service offering. The requirement is specific to restructuring advice, so general commercial or property legal work alone would not establish the same fit.
