Homes England appoints Stantec to Development and Regeneration Technical Services Framework
May 05 2023 - 5:45AM
TSX, NYSE:STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design
and engineering, has been appointed to Homes England’s Development
and Regeneration Technical Services (DaRTS) Framework. The firm now
provides its entire range of interdisciplinary services for the
Government’s housing and regeneration agency within the framework’s
first Lot.
DaRTS is a national framework agreement of
multidisciplinary professional and technical service providers for
Homes England’s projects over the next four years. Those appointed
will have the opportunity to work on a range of schemes helping to
accelerate housebuilding and address the current housing shortfall
in England.
Stantec’s appointment to the framework comes on
the back of years of success working with Homes England on
residential projects and helping support the creation of
sustainable, resilient communities across the country. The Company
will build on this over the next four years, drawing from its
extensive network of locations in England and its global expertise
to support Homes England in addressing the growing need for new
housing.
In 2022, Stantec acquired Barton Willmore, a
leading planning and development consultancy. The firm’s combined
expertise contributed to the preparation of the bid for Homes
England. This showcased Stantec’s expanded offering,
interdisciplinary capabilities, and ability to boost levels of
social value and sustainability on projects.
Stantec’s resources will support the agency’s
expanded remit, which covers regeneration as well as the Levelling
Up agenda. Levelling Up is the UK Government’s drive to improve
services, facilities, and infrastructure, with the aim of
generating growth and spreading prosperity to all parts of the
country.
In addition to being appointed as a
non-mandatory services provider on DaRTS, Stantec is now eligible
to be one of Homes England’s directly appointed suppliers for
projects until the Framework’s end in 2027.
Commenting on Stantec’s appointment Susan
Emmett, the company’s director of client accounts and growth for
the UK Community Development Team, said: “We’ve worked with Homes
England for more than 12 years, helping accelerate the delivery of
responsible, resilient housing across the country.
“This is a fantastic win for our teams, and
we’re excited to demonstrate how our newly evolved Community
Development offering is perfectly positioned to address the
country’s current and future housing challenges. Many local
authorities across the country have already benefited from our
unique and people-driven approach to projects, and we’re looking
forward to forging new relationships as part of this
framework.”
Ron Henry, Stantec director of growth and
integration, UK Community Development, added: “Supporting
liveability and protecting people’s health, happiness and wellbeing
will be put at the heart of any projects we work on as part of this
framework. Whether that’s by encouraging active travel, creating
safer streets, protecting blue and green spaces, supporting
biodiversity or by being more environmentally responsible, we must
always think about our long-term impact.
“With the recently acquired skills from Barton
Willmore, Stantec’s community development offering has never been
stronger in the UK. This appointment has come at the perfect time
for those looking for technical and creative expertise as well as
exceptional, forward-thinking plans.”
