What is being bought

Portsmouth City Council ('the Council') is inviting requests from suitably qualified suppliers to be admitted to a pseudo-dynamic purchasing system (DPS) arrangement to provide temporary accommodation services, ordinarily in Portsmouth but also in the surrounding area. Temporary Accommodation supports those at-risk of homelessness by providing short-term accommodation while a longer-term placement is found. COMMENCEMENT & DURATION Any placements made under this DPS will be made from the 10th March 2025 onwards. The maximum duration of the DPS is approx. 4 years. The DPS arrangements will expire on 23rd February 2029 12:00 and no new placements will be made via the DPS beyond this date, although placements made before this deadline may continue. VALUE The Council cannot guarantee or commit to spend year on year and is actively progressing initiatives to reduce spend, including sourcing properties for direct use. In 2023 the total amount spent on Temporary Accommodation providers was in excess of £5,000,000. Over the next 4 years, anticipated spend via this DPS may be in the region of £20,000,000. APPLICATION PROCESS The Council cannot commit to making temporary accommodation placements solely via the DPS arrangements, however it is the Council's intent to use the DPS as its primary sourcing route in the future. Suppliers currently providing temporary accommodation services to the Council are therefore strongly encouraged to apply to join the DPS. Suppliers may submit applications for admission to the DPS from 21st February 2025. Applications for admission to the DPS will close on 22nd December 2028. Suppliers should note the following documentation must be returned via the council's e-sourcing solution In-tend in order to be admitted to the DPS, subject to meeting all stated minimum requirements: - A fully completed Supplier Requirements Questionnaire (SRQ) document - Self certification that evidence of held insurances and other documentation / policies can be provided, as requested in the SRQ document Self-certifications required as part of completing the SRQ will be followed up on in order to ensure compliance by Council officers within 30 days of admission to the DPS. Applications will be checked on a fortnightly basis, with onboarding aimed to be completed for applicants who meet all stated minimum requirements within 30 days of receipts of the application. The Council reserves the right to check applications and onboard suppliers on shorter timescales where resource allows and / or requirements demand this. ADMINISTRATION The Council will administrate the DPS using its e-sourcing system In-tend. The In-tend system can be accessed free of charge via the following web link: https://intendhost.co.uk/portsmouthcc/aspx/home

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 55. The category anchor is Other hotel services (55130000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 552,0824 median · 12.9 average (802 of 2,082 with a bid count)1.8 average (828 of 2,082 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
