SNG (Sovereign Network Group) was formed in October 2023 through the merger of Sovereign Housing and Network Homes. We provide over 80,000 homes serving over 210,000 residents and invest in communities across the South of England, with an aim to create thousands of new affordable places for people to live every year.

Our purpose is to provide quality affordable homes and places, that people love for generations. We aren’t just here for now or for profit, everything we earn we invest so that our customers now, and in the future, have a sustainable home that they love, in a thriving community. Our size and geographic breadth diversifies the homes that we own, offering stability alongside growth potential.

SNG will have an annual income of over £830m in 2024/25 and will invest £9.2bn over the next 10 years, building 25,000 new homes – almost 4,000 more than in current plans, as well as regenerating estates and improving the sustainability and quality of existing homes. They have also pledged to establish a new Community Foundation to invest £100m in communities over a ten-year period.

Our strategy is to continue to grow, staying financially strong through good governance and performance management so we can invest more in the things that matter – building more homes and making better places.

This tender opportunity is being published and will be awarded in the name of Sovereign Network Homes as this is our current legal identity however when we fully merge in April 25 the contract will be novated into the name of SNG and will be available to all of SNG and any associated subsidiaries.

SNH is actively bidding for opportunities both on and off-market. These range across S106s, land acquisitions, package deals and more complicated joint venture arrangements. The schemes on which we offer tend to comprise between 25 and 300 homes albeit larger opportunities are not uncommon.

Our current pipeline includes a 79 unit High Risk Building in LB Brent which we hope to start on site this financial year, a 95 unit multi-block scheme in LB Ealing and Phase 2 of a Masterplan Consent which we expect to deliver c. 950 homes.

Other social housing providers in the UK (both those that are in existence now and those that may come into

existence during the term of the framework agreement) may also be entitled to call-off contracts under the

framework agreement. ‘Social Housing Provider’ for this purpose means any provider of social housing and

includes registered providers (as listed on the Gov.UK Website:

current-registered-providers-of-social-housing), and may include local authorities and ALMO's. Applicants

should note that, under the framework agreement, no organisation that is entitled to call-off shall be under any

obligation to do so neither does any social housing provider have the automatic right to do so without direct

permission from Network Homes Ltd.

Where other ‘Social Housing Providers’ have instructed call-off contracts under this framework agreement, the

value of the Framework stipulated in II.2.6) may increase over its 4 year duration. The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
