This initiative falls under the real estate services category and is primarily located in the UK. The pre-tender market engagement exercise is scheduled for March and April 2022, with a closing date for questionnaire submissions set for 22nd April 2022 at 12 noon. The engagement aims to inform the future service offerings which are expected to commence in April 2023. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in property services, housing solutions, or software development related to sales and marketing. Companies that specialise in affordable housing schemes, navigation systems for home ownership options, or customer engagement tools would be well-suited to participate in this opportunity. The results of the market testing will help Homes England to understand the potential offerings and capabilities of suppliers, fostering growth in the sector. ## Notice Homes England is investigating what, if any, service it could offer commencing in April 2023. Homes England will be carrying out a pre-tender market engagement exercise to during March/April 2022. The Prior Information Notice ('PIN') is not a call to competition. The purpose of this PIN is to invite potential suppliers to participate in a market testing exercise to assist Homes England in the design of the services and our requirements. This market testing exercise consists of a questionnaire and, at the discretion of Homes England, may also include one or more bidder days at which feedback may be provided on a face-to-face basis. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Homes England is exploring how we could improve access for customers to Affordable Home Ownership schemes such as Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy. Currently customers can search and register for grant funded Shared Ownership homes with one of our Help to Buy Agents. Over 100,000 customers register for these services each year. The current service is expected to end in March 2023 and this engagement exercise is to help us understand what the market could potentially deliver from April 2023. Whilst the current service was procured to support the delivery of Shared Ownership homes which have been funded using Homes England grant, we are exploring the possibility of extending this to include other Affordable Home Ownership schemes including those not funded by Homes England. This could be in the region of approximately 20,000 homes per year listed on these sites. These homes could have varying eligibility criteria and scheme rules so helping customers navigate their options would be a key priority for us. Further information can be accessed via Home England's e-Tendering system. Those wishing to download and return a questionnaire for this opportunity must register their expression of interest and submit their response through our e-Tendering system. If not already registered, interested parties should register at; https://procontract.due-north.com/Login Please note the closing date for the return of questionnaires is 22nd April 2022 @ 12 noon. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007583-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Dec 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOMES ENGLAND (THE NAME ADOPTED BY THE HOMES AND COMMUNITIES AGENCY) | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE4 5BZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Arthur's Hill | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 70 - Real estate services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48481000 - Sales or marketing software package - 70000000 - Real estate services - 72212481 - Sales or marketing software development services ## Release History - 21 Mar 2022 at 13:53 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007583-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=c336ceaa-19a9-ec11-8112-005056b64545 - https://procontract.due-north.com/Login - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/homes-england ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
