Homes England may procure a system or systems and operational capability to assist in distributing grant funding for dangerous cladding remediation on buildings between 11-18 metres in height. If it goes forward with a procurement exercise it anticipates that the contract will commence in Autumn / Winter 2022. This Prior Information Notice (‘PIN’) is not a call to competition. The purpose of this PIN is to:

• invite potential suppliers to participate in a market sounding exercise to assist Homes England in its thinking about the services. This market sounding exercise consists of a webinar and a questionnaire.

• seek information from the market to help shape our thinking about our requirements, how the systems and services may be provided (including the extent to which various elements are provided in-house and which are outsourced), the approach to sounding and piloting, the potential procurement procedure and key commercial considerations (e.g. possible payment mechanism and ways in which ongoing value for money can be demonstrated);

• communicate the indicative tible for the procurement and seek potential suppliers views about this.
