## Summary

Homes England commissioned research into alternative land uses and competition for residential use of development land. The work covers property and real estate research consultancy services, with the purpose of understanding how competing land uses affect land intended for housing development. Delivery covers England. Homes England is the buying organisation. The requirement sits within the housing and development land market, and is relevant to property consultancies, land economists, market researchers and firms advising public bodies on development options, land values and residential supply. The selected provider is Savills (UK) Limited, whose work is described as research provided to Homes England following a competitive tender.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a competitive tender process. Savills (UK) Limited was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026 for £48,360 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement category is services, covering real estate services and research consultancy services. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The evaluation basis is not described beyond the competitive tender route.

This award demonstrates demand from Homes England for specialist evidence on alternative land uses, competition for development land and the implications for residential use. A credible future supplier would need strong property-market and land-use research capability, with experience analysing development land, competing uses and housing-related market conditions across England. Useful capacity would include robust data collection, market assessment, economic or valuation analysis, and the ability to turn complex findings into clear advice for a public-sector client. Firms combining real estate consultancy with independent research, policy understanding and practical knowledge of residential development would be well placed. The requirement is also identified as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist consultancies as well as larger property advisers.
