This project aims to deliver up to 1,500 affordable homes for first-time buyers in England, allowing them to purchase properties at a discount of at least 30% compared to open market prices. The pilot is actively supporting the period from November 2021 to December 2023, with a budget of £150 million. This tender was published on 10th August 2021, and the tender period concluded on 13th September 2021, employing an open procurement method. This opportunity not only aims to provide affordable housing but also paves the way for growth in the construction and property development sectors. Businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to participate. Construction firms and developers that align with Homes England’s objectives and can effectively deliver housing solutions will find significant potential for collaboration and expansion within this initiative. ## Notice The new First Homes Affordable Housing scheme will seek to support eligible first-time buyers to buy a home for a discount of at least 30% compared to the open market price. Full details of the scheme can found here. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/first-homes The First Homes discount will be registered on each home title in perpetuity. This notice relates to a First Homes Pilot scheme for 2021-23 that will deliver an estimated 1,500 First Homes for sale. The early pilot delivery will provide learning to Homes England to assist the national implementation of First Homes which will deliver at scale via the planning system. Homes England intends to procure house builders to offer Pilot First Homes for sale from summer 2021 with the support of Homes England grant funding estimated to be up to PS150m. These Pilot First Homes made available in this way will be from homes intended for market sale (not any Affordable Housing provision already agreed between builders and Local Authorities) discounted by 30%, marketed as First Homes and purchased by eligible buyers.
