## Summary

Home Group Limited is inviting tenders for the "Home Group Development Consultants (EA) Framework 2026," aimed at establishing a framework of skilled Employer's Agent consultants. This public procurement process addresses the needs of Home Group's new build development programme, with projects ranging from conversion and refurbishment to regeneration and supported housing. The framework covers various regions in the UK, including Scotland, Cumbria, the North East, Yorkshire & Humberside, and the South. The tender stage is currently active, with submissions required by 25 August 2026 and enquiries by 20 August 2026. The procurement method is open, utilising a competitive flexible procedure allowing for both rotation and a direct award mechanism based on specific criteria. The contract value is a substantial £6.4 million, reflecting the framework's comprehensive scope.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction supervision and consultancy services, as well as project management, to engage in high-value projects with a prominent contracting authority. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those capable of providing quality services with a keen price-performance balance. Businesses that have in-house capabilities in both Employer’s Agent and Fire Consulting services, particularly for the South region, will find Lot 5 particularly lucrative, while those focusing on broader regional clusters can bid for up to four of the northern regional lots. This arrangement allows firms to showcase their portfolios, expand regional influence, and ensure steady project inflow over the framework's duration from December 2026 to December 2030.
