Liverpool economic development consultancy AMION Consulting secures place on £15m Homes England framework. Tony McDonough reports
AMION Consulting has secured a place on the £15m Homes England Strategic Research, Economics and Evaluation framework 2024-2028.
Liverpool-based AMION will provide economic, evaluation and research services for the framework which can be used by a wide range of public sector organisations. It has been on this framework for 24 years.
AMION specialises in economic development and regeneration, maintains its unique position as the only firm to have been a member of the framework since it started in 2000.
Under past frameworks, AMION has helped to produce several industry-standard economics policy guides such as the pioneering Additionality Guide, now used across the globe to assess the real, additional impact of public interventions.
More recently it prepared the business case for the £300m strategic brownfield development scheme, Hind Street Urban Village which aims to bring 1,500 new homes to Birkenhead.
The business case successfully secured £25 million of grant funding from Homes England to make the scheme viable.
