## Summary

Torus Group commissioned business and management consultancy to prepare a business case for a joint venture between Torus and Homes England. The requirement is described as a Joint Venture Business Case, with consultancy and related services as its category. Delivery is in North West England. This is a strategic advisory assignment focused on assessing or developing the proposed joint venture case, rather than the provision of construction, housing management or other operational services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Avison Young (UK) Limited. The award was made on 14 September 2026, following a submission deadline of 7 September 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £54,000 and runs from 21 September to 31 December 2026. The tender records the service category and overall value, but does not set out the procurement route or the evaluation basis. The requirement was presented as a single business-case assignment, with no separate lots identified. Torus Group is the buyer; the award is active.

This award shows demand from Torus Group for specialist consultancy to develop a joint venture business case involving Homes England. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate relevant business and management consultancy capability, including the ability to analyse a proposed partnership and produce a clear, decision-ready business case. Experience supporting strategic decisions in housing or public-sector contexts would be pertinent to the subject, while evidence of rigorous commercial and financial analysis would help establish credibility. The selected supplier was a large company, and the published suitability assessment did not identify the work as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The assignment is a defined, short-term piece of strategic advisory work rather than a long-running operational services contract.
