The purpose of this PIN is to invite potential suppliers to participate in market engagement to provide feedback and assist Homes England in its thinking on: • The service and skills needed as part of the procured service and if they are a good fit/available from the market • The Target Operating Model – what we envisage on procuring and what we envisage will be delivered by Homes England • The system capability and ability to integrate with a Homes England data platform and possibly with a Homes England payment system • The Proposed Procurement Strategy including the potential routes to market and proposed contract length; and • The Proposed Pricing and Payment Mechanisms For the avoidance of doubt, this notice and any responses relating to it, do not serve as a call for competition. Any comments, indications of interest, participation or non-participation by any organisation at this stage will not influence the process, selection or award decision for any future possible procurement, nor will it be taken as an organisation's committed position.
