Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Orbit Group Limited focused on securing "Temporary Accommodation for Customers" in the services industry category, specifically accommodation services. The procurement targeted the Midlands, East, and South East regions of the United Kingdom, with the tender currently in the award stage as of 11th June 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 2,600,000, began on 1st June 2026 and is set to end on 31st May 2029, with a 12-month term plus options for two further 12-month extensions. This procurement was carried out through a selective method, using a call-off from a framework agreement, aimed at enhancing emergency accommodation resources for their clientele.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in low-cost accommodation solutions, particularly those with capabilities in the specified regions. Given the selective nature of the process, companies with established frameworks in place can leverage existing agreements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged, as the process states suitability for them, offering an entry point into long-term contractual engagements with a reputable entity like Orbit Group Limited. The awarded supplier, Insurance Claims Accommodation Bureau Limited, exemplifies the potential for SMEs to expand their client base and solidify their market presence within the accommodation services sector.

Notice Title

Temporary Accommodation for Customers

Notice Description

On occasion we need to provide our customers with temporary accommodation in an emergency, for example due to a health & safety issue such as Damp, mould & condensation, fire, flooding or when major repairs are required. Whilst our current travel provider for the Group are able to source temporary accommodation, it would be beneficial to have a further resource option, especially for situations where it's difficult to find suitable accommodation due to the length of time a decant is needed, specified location and requirements of the customer. We require an additional provider whose main focus is on temporary accommodation and have a wide range of suitable low cost accommodation solutions to cover the Midlands, East and South East areas. Contract value is an estimate of spend over the full contract term. Contract term is 12 months with option to extend for further 2x 12 months.
