This contract, with an estimated value of GBP 400 million, falls under the CPV category for construction work for electricity power lines. Key activities will include the assessment, planning, design, delivery, ownership, and maintenance of utility infrastructure for residential-led developments across various UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Homes England is seeking expressions of interest by 14th March 2025, with further opportunities to be detailed via their e-Tendering system during the procurement process expected to follow under the Procurement Act 2023. This upcoming framework offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in utility infrastructure development and maintenance, particularly those specialising in integrated power and water solutions. Companies with expertise in large-scale residential projects, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with capabilities in electrical installation and distribution, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender could provide substantial growth avenues, given the high value and extensive scope of work. Businesses can register their interest and participate in the pre-market consultation to better understand and respond to the diverse infrastructure needs outlined by Homes England. ## Notice Homes England requires the assessment, planning, design, delivery, ownership and maintenance of reliable utility infrastructure that meets the needs of diverse and complex small and large-scale residential led developments. To accelerate delivery, Homes England is seeking to create a framework to provide integrated power and water utility and services solutions to directly support the Agency's pipeline of residential led development and regeneration projects, led by an Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO).
