## Summary

Homes England commissioned a pilot study to develop a bespoke analysis of local housing systems within a region. The work is research and consultancy: the supplier is to examine how local housing systems operate, providing evidence to support Homes England’s understanding of housing at regional level. The award classifies delivery across nine English regions: North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Homes England is the buying organisation. The procurement is for a single pilot, rather than a stated programme of repeated regional analyses, and concerns local housing systems rather than housing construction or property management.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to the University of Glasgow. Homes England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £97,000 excluding VAT (£116,400 including VAT). The procurement was a single lot. The published process information describes the requirement as a pilot of bespoke local housing systems analysis within a region; it does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility criteria. The contract is active.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from Homes England, this award indicates demand for applied housing research that can produce a bespoke analysis of a local housing system at regional scale. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant research and consultancy capability, understanding of housing markets and the relationships between their local components, and the ability to shape a tailored analytical approach for the region concerned. The University of Glasgow was selected for this pilot, providing a benchmark of the type of institution that has undertaken the work, but the procurement gives no stated accreditation, staffing, or prior-experience requirements. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this process does not evidence an open competitive selection or published scoring criteria.
