Details

These examples are for illustration purposes only.

Providers are encouraged to review the documents in full once the Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP) 2026 to 2036 opens for bids.

Unregistered Body, Strategic Partnerships, and Traveller Pitch grant agreement examples will follow.

A Grant Agreement is a standard contract between Homes England and all Social and Affordable Homes Programme 2026 to 2036 providers. The issuing of individual contracts is handled by the Homes England Provider Services team.

Before the programme opens

Homes England must obtain and consider a subsidy report from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) before it makes the Social and Affordable Homes Programme a subsidy scheme. This is required by the Subsidy Control Act 2022. The CMA will report on our submission and may make recommendations.

These grant agreement examples have been published to allow partners to review the grant agreement conditions, before Homes England has received the CMA’s subsidy report for consideration. Once we receive and review the CMA’s subsidy report, we may update these grant agreements before inviting bids. If any changes are made, we will clearly communicate these to partners before bidding opens.

SAHP bidding and contracting will only start after the CMA process has been completed to Homes England’s satisfaction.
