Description

Homes England requires the assessment, planning, design, delivery, ownership and maintenance of reliable utility infrastructure that meets the needs of diverse and complex small and large-scale residential led developments.

To accelerate delivery, Homes England is seeking to create a framework to provide integrated power and water utility and services solutions to directly support the Agency's pipeline of residential led development and regeneration projects, led by an Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO).

The value stated in this notice is based on the value we would expect to spend with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) during the framework period.

The type of procedure for procurement has not yet been finalised. It is also not known at this stage whether the framework will be divided into lots.

Further information can be accessed via Home England's e-Tendering system. Those wishing to download and return a questionnaire for this opportunity should submit their response through our e-Tendering system.

The envisaged Framework will be subject to Cabinet Office Spend Controls.

Deadline for responses is Friday 14 March 2025 at 1pm.
