Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council is initiating a tender titled "Private Rented Sector Swindon" focused on real estate services in the South West region of England. Currently in the planning stage, this procurement process is aimed at conducting a soft market testing exercise to assess the market's capacity and interest in providing temporary accommodation services. Key dates include the deadline for participation submissions, which is set for the 25th of September 2017, with responses to be reviewed by the end of October 2017. This initiative is designed to assist the Council in defining the specifications and contract for potential services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the real estate and housing sector, particularly those experienced in managing temporary accommodation. Companies that can demonstrate capacity in managing properties and a commitment to preventing homelessness will be well-positioned to engage in this process. Participation in the soft market testing will allow organisations to share insights and capabilities, potentially influencing future procurement decisions made by Swindon Borough Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Private Rented Sector Swindon

Notice Description

Provision of Private Sector Leased Temporary Accommodation Soft Market Testing Swindon Borough Council is seeking input from the market for the provision of its portfolio of Temporary Accommodation. This market assessment is not part of the procurement process, but is purely investigative in nature, to potentially assist the Council in defining a specification and contract for the services. The same information will be gathered from all providers, who wish to participate in the Soft Market testing to assist the Council. This advert relates to a proposed 'soft market testing' exercise only and is NOT a call for competition. Description:- To support the Local Authority duty to provide temporary accommodation for Homeless Households, Swindon Borough Council is engaging in a soft market test exercise to assess the market's capacity, interest and capability to deliver the provision of private sector leased temporary accommodation to:- 1) Manage the 420 properties or a proportion of those within the existing private sector leasing scheme currently run by Swindon Borough Council. 2) Develop a Private Rented Sector Offer to prevent homelessness. The purpose of this Soft Market Test is to gain intelligence on the supply market for Swindon Borough Council's requirements, including information that will help define the most appropriate structure, plan and budget for any potential competitive procurement exercise. Participants are invited to respond to the attached soft market testing response document in writing, along with providing details of their organisation. Organisations whom provide a response to the Soft Market Testing Questions will be reviewed and contacted by end of October 2017. Soft Market Testing Responses are required to be submitted no later than 25th September 2017, 1400 hrs UK Local time by e-mail to Arlene Griffin only. For the avoidance of doubt, no information provided in response to this questionnaire will be used by the Council in assessing providers during any future procurement process, scheduled to commence in 2017.
