## Summary

Homes England commissioned a mixed-methods research study into unadopted infrastructure to inform housing policy. The work is a research and consultancy service, rather than the construction or maintenance of infrastructure itself. The procurement is managed by Homes England, and the stated delivery area is England. It may suit research consultancies and built-environment specialists able to investigate infrastructure adoption issues and translate findings into evidence for housing policy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited. The award was made on 25 September 2026, for £169,510. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated procurement value was also £169,510. The response deadline was 23 September 2026 at 12:00. The service was procured as a single requirement; the recorded procurement-method detail is “Not applicable”. The award information gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions beyond identifying the service as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for research on how unadopted infrastructure affects housing policy. A future competitor would need credible mixed-methods research capability, with expertise in infrastructure adoption and the housing policy context, and the ability to produce findings useful to policy development. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, showing that a substantial consultancy can deliver this research, while the stated SME suitability indicates that smaller research businesses may also be relevant. Providers whose work is limited to physical infrastructure delivery would be less closely matched: the requirement is for evidence and analysis, not construction. This is a focused research opportunity for organisations able to combine qualitative and quantitative methods with practical understanding of housing and infrastructure.
