What is being bought

Published requirement description

The requirement is for the provision of Emergency Accommodation to a minimum specification as detailed. Suppliers must undertake to manage the premises on behalf of the Council. We only require Hotel accommodation with a reception that can be available 24 hours a day for booking in new residents. We are not looking for rooms within houses i.e. HMO’s (Houses with Multiple Occupancy, self-contained flats or whole houses. The Council is looking to explore a range of options for the provision of temporary accommodation whereby The Council can access the accommodation at short notice (sometimes on the same day) on a spot purchase basis. The service is open to considering additional forms of emergency accommodation such as Hotel/Bed and Breakfast and where practical self-contained flats or houses.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Emergency Accommodation 2023 - 2025” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 20 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
