## Summary

The contracting process initiated by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in the United Kingdom has culminated in the award of a contract titled "HIF Reference Cast Forecasting Refresh." This contract, related to the financial consultancy services sector, involves recalibrating the Housing Infrastructure Fund's forecasting model. Located in London, the procurement reached the award stage on 14th October 2025, following the contract's start on 29th September 2025, and is set to conclude on 28th November 2025. The procurement process was direct and without competition, staying below the threshold, and was driven by a legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly aimed at large-scale financial consultancy providers capable of offering external assurance on project costs. Oxford Global Projects UK Limited, the awarded supplier, exemplifies the type of business suited to this procurement, with expertise in such recalibration tasks. Companies in this niche, especially those experienced in analytical forecasting and financial consultancy within the infrastructure sector, could benefit from engaging with similar public sector opportunities to enhance their portfolio and engagements.

## Notice

MHCLG requires a thorough recalibration of the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) Reference Cast Forecasting (RCF) modelling to reflect the increased maturity of the programme and individual projects, with a focus on modelling on remaining spend and time, rather than project lifetime costs. This will provide important external assurance on the likely unfunded additional costs for HIF and is critical to inform MHCLG headroom management strategy.
