Emergency Temporary Accommodation

The purpose of this service is to provide safe, suitable, and immediately available emergency accommodation for individuals, couples or households who require urgent placement due to homelessness, crisis, or risk of harm. The service will operate on a spot-purchase basis, enabling the Authority to secure accommodation flexibly and at short notice. The Local Authority is running an Open Invitation to Tender under the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to deviate from the formalities of the open procedure given the flexibilities permitted by Regulation 9 of the Procurement Act 2023 in the conduct of procurements for \"wholly or mainly for the supply of services of a kind specified in regulations under subsection (2)”, otherwise referred to as “Light Touch Regime” procurement. Due to nature of the service, The Authority is looking to enter into a number of spot-purchase contracts with accommodation providers, up to a total maximum value of £5 million (£5,000,000) across all providers, over a six-year period contract period (4+1+1). This is an advert for the opportunity; the tender documents will be published imminently. If you are interested in participating in this opportunity, please submit an Expression of Interest which will grant you access to the full tender documents when they become available.
