This procurement, classified under research services (CPV code: 73110000), was executed through a direct award procurement method. The contract, with a total value of £105,625, commenced on 5th June 2017 and is scheduled to conclude on 31st October 2017. The evaluation will assess the scheme's continued effectiveness in supporting the housing market since the last evaluation conducted in 2015, a vital period for home construction in the UK. The contract was awarded on 2nd June 2017 and officially published on 20th July 2017. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in economic evaluations and housing policy analysis. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider similar public procurement contracts, as the government seeks to engage a diverse array of providers. Companies specialised in assessing policy impacts and market dynamics within the housing sector will find this contract well-aligned with their capabilities, potentially driving business growth through further governmental contracts in related fields. ## Notice In 2015, the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) undertook a formal evaluation of the Value for Money of the Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme (the scheme). The key aim of the evaluation was to determine the 'additionality' of the scheme: the number of new homes built in addition to what would have been built in the absence of the policy. The output of the evaluation has been used to inform internal consideration and decision making. Two years later, the scheme continues to be popular, and is well embedded into the new build market. In light of the significant investment the scheme represents, DCLG want to understand the extent to which the scheme is still supporting the market and how this might have changed over time. This is a new review covering the period since the last evaluation, rather than a refresh of the existing evaluation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/276953b0-bd57-4754-b8e8-6b320ec79721 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Jun 2017 | | Contract period | 4 Jun 2017 - 31 Oct 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £105,625 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £105,625 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR COMMUNITIES & LOCAL GOVERNMENT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | IPSOS MORI | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 20 Jul 2017 at 13:06 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/276953b0-bd57-4754-b8e8-6b320ec79721 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/276953b0-bd57-4754-b8e8-6b320ec79721 20th July 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/27fc6801-5c07-4b3b-ad43-fa9ef7a4e6e3 Contract Award Letter - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ea14cc9e-3482-4462-ab17-f57db7123434 Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1212b494-715a-45a9-b8f7-4bff40897f72 Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7f63a6b6-0b5c-4c56-8e22-fedf8cde6644 Amendment ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
