Homes England is actively engaged in the tender stage for its 2026-2030 Legal Services Framework, seeking to appoint a range of legal professional service providers. This framework is designed to cover two lots, focusing on real estate and investment legal services, including affordable housing, and corporate legal services. The procurement method is a competitive flexible procedure, entailing stages of participation, invitation to tender, and framework award. Key locations for service delivery include various regions across the United Kingdom, with the expression of interest deadline set for 20th February 2026. The framework is scheduled to commence on 18th November 2026 and conclude on 17th November 2030.
