Homes England, operating under the name adopted by the Homes and Communities Agency, has completed a procurement process for the project titled "Economic Crime Risk Assessment and Review of Existing Policies." The procurement, which falls within the scope of management consultancy services, specifically focuses on auditing and financial management consultancy in England, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method under the CCS RM6309 Management Consultancy Framework Four, Lot 4: Finance. The tendering process culminated with an award to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on 1st March 2026, and the contract commenced on 6th March 2026, concluding on 31st May 2026. This procurement process is pivotal in supporting the establishment of the National Housing Bank as a Public Financial Institution by providing essential assessments and reviews against the regulatory standards.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services related to economic crime, policy reviews, and risk management frameworks.
