The project entails research and performance monitoring across eight sites in London, totalling nearly 1,500 homes. This tender, having concluded on 6th January 2020, was awarded on 3rd February 2020 to Atkins Limited for a total value of £468,146. The contract is set to commence on 4th February 2020 and will conclude on 31st March 2021, focusing on providing a comprehensive analysis of MMC against traditional building methods. The services required fall under the category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in construction, engineering, and research services, especially those with experience in modern construction technologies. By participating in this project, such firms can not only contribute to a landmark study but also position themselves as leaders in the emerging field of MMC. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to seek involvement, as the project aims to engage with innovative practices and showcase the benefits of MMC to the wider industry, thus fostering growth and collaboration in this evolving market. ## Notice Homes England wants to provide a body of verifiable data on the performance of different types of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). At present there is not enough impartial information widely available to give the industry the confidence to widely increase the uptake of MMC. To remedy this Homes England is encouraging developers to commit to advanced levels of MMC on eight sites totalling almost 1,500 homes. As a condition of the development of this land we are mandating that the sites will have to be subject to research and performance monitoring to understand the benefits (and the potential draw backs) of delivering housing using different types of MMC technology. This study will provide a body of research which can answer the questions frequently asked by housebuilders, contractors, commissioners, financers, insurers, etc... as regards issues such as cost of delivery, the energy performance of MMC homes, the prevalence of delivery defects, material wastage levels, etc... by monitoring the projects from foundations through to one-year post occupancy. This data and analysis needs to be in a format that can be readily shared with industry, local & national government and other interested parties to provide clear evidence on how MMC performs against traditional build. It is intended that this landmark study provides a template for how the industry and other partners can measure the performance of MMC in the future, creating a substantial body of data and encouraging the uptake of MMC more widely. Beyond measuring the physical benefits of MMC, Homes England would also like to analyse the costs and monetised benefits in order to better understand the economic rationale for MMC. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6711dfd8-e67e-478f-9422-b8fb836b8df5 | | 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 | 5 Feb 2020 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Feb 2020 | | Contract period | 4 Feb 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £468,146 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £468,146 | | 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 | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 1EE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Waterfront South | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ATKINS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 5 Feb 2020 at 10:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6711dfd8-e67e-478f-9422-b8fb836b8df5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6711dfd8-e67e-478f-9422-b8fb836b8df5 5th February 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
