## Summary

Homes England commissioned technical support for its annual organisational greenhouse-gas inventory, which measures emissions from its operations and activities and informs sustainability and climate reporting. The work covers adapting the inventory to include the National Housing Bank, reviewing organisational boundaries, governance, data ownership, emissions sources and reporting requirements, and improving the treatment of Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and investments. It also includes reviewing the approach to land-sector emissions and removals against the new Greenhouse Gas Protocol standard and guidance. The consultant provides independent technical advice, challenge and quality assurance; Homes England retains ownership of the inventory and reporting decisions. The buying organisation is Homes England. Delivery is for its organisational reporting across England. This is specialist environmental and carbon-accounting consultancy, classified under CPV 71000000.

The procurement is complete and AECOM Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 26 October 2026. The contract period runs from 29 October 2026 to 31 July 2027, and the awarded value is £17,995.10. The tender’s submission deadline was 1 October 2026. The procurement method is recorded as not applicable, so no procedure or evaluation basis is stated. The requirement is presented as a single commission, with no lots described. Homes England marked the opportunity suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. AECOM Limited is the awarded supplier.

This commission shows demand from Homes England for focused, independent technical support to maintain and improve an established organisational greenhouse-gas inventory. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need practical expertise in corporate carbon accounting and the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, including organisational boundaries, governance and quality assurance. Relevant capability would include assessing Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and investments, testing where supplier- or activity-specific data can improve on spend-based estimates, and balancing accuracy with proportionate, repeatable methods. Knowledge of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Land Sector and Removals Standard and Guidance is also directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to advise and challenge while leaving methodological decisions and reporting ownership with Homes England. The commission’s focused scope indicates a need for specialist consultancy rather than large-scale delivery capacity.

## Notice

This commission is for project support in the delivery of Homes England's annual carbon inventory. Homes England is committed to embedding sustainability and robust environmental governance across its operations, investments and development activities. As part of this commitment, the Agency annually compiles an organisational greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory to quantify, monitor and report emissions associated with its operations and activities. The carbon inventory supports Homes England sustainability objectives and government objectives related to decarbonisation. Each year key outputs from the carbon inventory are reported in the Sustainability and TCFD reports within the Agency's Annual Report and Accounts. Four carbon inventories have been completed to date, covering the reporting periods 2022/23 to 2025/26. Over successive reporting cycles, the inventory has matured through improvements in reporting boundaries, methodology, data quality, governance arrangements and emission calculations establishing a robust and repeatable procedure. This procedure now provides an established basis for annual reporting and performance monitoring. The 2026/27 reporting cycle presents several new challenges and opportunities for further development. Most notably, Homes England has established the National Housing Bank (NHB) as a new business function. The incorporation of NHB activities within organisational emissions reporting requires a review of organisational boundaries, governance arrangements, data ownership, emissions sources and reporting requirements to ensure the inventory remains consistent with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and relevant government reporting requirements. Homes England also wishes to further improve the accuracy and transparency of reporting associated with Scope 3 emissions, specifically Purchased Goods and Services (Category 1) and Investments (Category 15). Whilst robust methodologies are currently in place, Homes England wants to explore opportunities to move beyond high-level spend-based estimates where appropriate; improve categorisation of expenditure and investments; investigate the availability of supplier or activity-specific data; and identify practical approaches that increase accuracy whilst remaining proportionate and repeatable. Homes England also currently accounts for relevant land sector emissions within its organisational carbon inventory. In light of the publication of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Land Sector and Removals Standard and Guidance, the commission should include a review of Homes England's existing approach to land sector emissions and removals against the new requirements. Homes England will retain ownership and responsibility for the organisational carbon inventory and associated reporting decisions. The consultant will provide independent technical advice, challenge, and quality assurance of the inventory, with all material methodological decisions and changes subject to agreement w
