The contracting authority for this tender is Homes England, based in London, which focuses on financial and insurance services. This notice serves as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform potential suppliers about upcoming opportunities related to the administration of equity loan products under the Help to Buy scheme. The PIN aims to gather feedback from the market and discusses the potential structure of future procurement. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in technology solutions and financial services, to contribute to a transformative project within the housing sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with expertise in mortgage administration and financial technology. By engaging with Homes England through the upcoming supplier briefing event, interested firms can tailor their proposals to better align with the organisation's needs for a seamless service delivery between customers, agents, and advisors. ## Notice Homes England issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in February 2020. This PIN is a further update to the original notice (ref 2020/S 035-083918). This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is not a call to competition. Following the original PIN, Homes England have secured approval of a Digital Transformation Business Case which aims to design and own an end-to-end service that: * Meets the needs of both users and Stakeholders * Provides a seamless service between customers, agents and advisors * Delivers a better service to users (customers) and stakeholders This PIN has therefore been updated, to re-engage with the market to share our latest thinking and Digital Transformation principles. This PIN seeks to gain feedback from potential suppliers, with an intention to primarily focus on technology solutions/suppliers for the Equity Loan Administration service. Suppliers who responded to the original PIN are encouraged to supply any further details they feel relevant, however it should be noted that this PIN does not supersede the original notice and is not to the detriment of any suppliers that originally responded. The current Mortgage Administration service administers all Homes England equity loan products from the point of approval through to redemption. This includes older 'legacy' products (First Time Buyers Initiative, LondonWide Initiative, Armed Forces Home Ownership Scheme, HomeBuy Direct and FirstBuy) as well as the current help to buy scheme. Homes England have a small number of approved agents who handle the process of approving applications for Home England's equity loan products up to and including the release of funds to allow completion of an approved home purchase. The PIN Process: *All interested parties will be invited to a supplier briefing event (via a webinar - access details will be issued via ProContract @https:// procontract.due-north.com/Home/About) where Homes England will explain our current thinking with regards to the possible structure of the formal procurement and an overview of our requirements with regards to the Equity Loan Administration. *After the supplier briefing event, suppliers are invited to respond via ProContract to the questions included in this document. We strongly suggest that suppliers hold their responses until after the supplier briefing event. *At the discretion of Homes England, where we require clarification or further understanding of issues with specific suppliers, we may also speak to these suppliers to inform our requirements *Suppliers should note that this PIN is focused predominantly on requirements to support Help to Buy Equity Loan Administration, although some information is also being sought to support t ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b58c2e89-07f9-4b94-b062-dc01acca4ff9 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 May 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOMES ENGLAND (THE NAME ADOPTED BY THE HOMES AND COMMUNITIES AGENCY) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0TL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services ## Release History - 7 May 2020 at 09:53 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b58c2e89-07f9-4b94-b062-dc01acca4ff9 - 6 May 2020 at 16:26 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4ca0ef09-c7f8-40ac-a1c1-51738cec26fd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b58c2e89-07f9-4b94-b062-dc01acca4ff9 7th May 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4ca0ef09-c7f8-40ac-a1c1-51738cec26fd 6th May 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/homes-england ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
