The work concerns strategic research, evaluation and economics, with a focus on understanding the additional impacts generated by Homes England schemes rather than simply measuring their direct outputs. It falls within business consultancy services, including research, economic analysis and evaluation, and is classified under CPV 79000000. Delivery covers England. Homes England, the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, is the buying organisation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist research consultancies, economists, evaluators and organisations with experience of place-based regeneration or public investment assessment. This procurement has been completed and awarded following a tender process. Homes England selected AMION Consulting Limited, an SME, on 21 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £230,470. The contract runs from 2 October 2026 to 31 December 2027. The original tender had a submission deadline of 7 August 2026 at 17:30. The procurement was for services and was assessed as a single requirement rather than being divided into separately described lots. The requirement is for additionality research and evaluation at scheme level, including analysis of outcomes from past interventions. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for delivering the commissioned research for Homes England across England. This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for specialist evidence on whether place-based interventions generate benefits beyond what would otherwise have occurred. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in additionality assessment, economic evaluation, programme or scheme-level research and analysis of outcomes from completed public interventions. Relevant experience in housing, regeneration, regional development or public investment would help demonstrate understanding of the policy context, while robust quantitative and qualitative research methods would be important for producing defensible findings. The requirement also suits an SME-sized consultancy, indicating that a focused specialist firm can compete with larger providers where it can show strong analytical expertise, clear evaluation practice and the capacity to deliver strategic research for a national public-sector housing and regeneration body. ## Notice This research aims to strengthen how Homes England assesses additionality at scheme level, with a particular focus on reviewing outcomes from past interventions delivered. 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/0170c236-e1ba-437b-9ad2-578995004dfe | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Sep 2026 | | Contract period | 2 Oct 2026 - 31 Dec 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £230,470 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £230,470 | | 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 | AMION Consulting Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 22 Sep 2026 at 10:04 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0170c236-e1ba-437b-9ad2-578995004dfe ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0170c236-e1ba-437b-9ad2-578995004dfe 22nd September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/homes-england - 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.
