## Summary

Homes England bought services to deliver and validate a pilot for the Integrated Change Programme’s integration layer, as part of Phase 2. The work covers turning approved high-level designs into detailed designs; building and configuring selected integrations in the agreed Azure environment; and creating reusable integration patterns and infrastructure as code. It also includes quality assurance, security and non-functional testing, governance and technical assurance support, user research, designs for a developer front door, and knowledge transfer and handover to Homes England. Homes England is the buying organisation, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The work concerns cloud support and integration delivery; the procurement is categorised as services. Delivery location information includes the United Kingdom and a Newcastle upon Tyne postcode.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Solirius Reply Ltd through a direct award under G-Cloud 14 Lot 3, for cloud support. The award date was 20 September 2026. The awarded value is £496,000. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement covered a pilot implementation and validation of the Integrated Change Programme integration layer, including integration design, configuration, testing, assurance and handover. The tender response deadline was 19 September 2026. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. Homes England marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for specialist cloud integration delivery within its Azure environment, spanning design translation, implementation, reusable integration patterns and infrastructure as code, testing, assurance and knowledge transfer. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to combine hands-on Azure integration capability with sound software engineering and infrastructure-as-code practice, and be able to validate solutions against security and non-functional requirements. Experience working within programme governance and providing technical assurance would also be relevant, alongside the ability to produce developer-facing designs and transfer knowledge effectively to the client. The buyer used a direct award through G-Cloud 14 Lot 3, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand that route and be positioned to provide the required cloud support through it. Homes England recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs.
