## Summary

Homes England, a public authority under sub-central government, is planning to establish a framework titled "Homes England Development and Regeneration Technical Services (DaRTS 2)" for the period of 2027 - 2031. This national framework agreement aims to procure multidisciplinary professional and technical service providers to support various built environment services across the United Kingdom, including architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an anticipated start date for the contract set for 18th April 2027, concluding on 17th April 2031. Interested parties are invited to participate in a pre-market consultation, with responses due by 5pm on 22nd May 2026, to gauge market interest.

This framework offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in design, planning, infrastructure, cost valuation, project management, ecology, and land surveying. It is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering a broad spectrum of professional and technical services. Firms engaged in the built environment sector can leverage this procurement to expand their portfolios by competing for commissions and appointments through direct awards or further competitions. With a planned total gross value of £240 million, this framework presents a significant opening for providers aiming to enhance their footprint across various UK regions.
