Homes England Strategic Research, Economics and Evaluation Framework 2024-2028

Establishment of the Homes England Strategic Research, Economics and Evaluation Framework.

Framework to run from 12/12/2024 - 11/12/2028

Homes England intends to procure a framework to replace the current Strategic Research and Analysis Framework with a 4-year term. The purpose of the Prior Information Notice ("PIN") is to issue a pre-market consultation questionnaire to understand the level of appetite within the market for the following Framework requirements.

The purpose of the framework is to obtain research, economic and evaluation services specific to the housing sector and Homes England’s role in helping to deliver the homes the country needs, supporting the government’s broader levelling up agenda and working with partners to support the creation, regeneration, development and continued wellbeing of communities. The services will be required to diagnose the rationale for intervention, including establishing clear market failures, assess options including the best way for Homes England to intervene (loan, grant, acquisition, master-developer), assess impacts, undertake cost benefit analysis and overall value for money assessment (including non-monetised benefits). This is in accordance with HMT Five Case Model, co-ordinating and analysing inputs from the other four cases to incorporate into a Full Business Case. The FBC will use a balanced scorecard approach to set out the final recommendation.

The framework will be used to provide economic appraisals, evaluations, impact assessments and economic modelling. It will also be used to provide primary research and surveys that are housing sector specific to provide a broad range of analysis disciplines with a focus on helping to better inform policies and interventions. This could include for example, market analysis, reports on the construction sector, MMC, affordable housing, wider benefits of housing.

Interested parties are invited to review the supplementary information and questionnaire which are available via our e-Tendering system, Pro Contract. If not already registered, candidates should register on the Homes England eTendering system at https://procontract.due-north.com/Login

The deadline for your completed questionnaire is 5pm on Monday 12 February 2024.
