Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council is in the tender phase of procurement for an "Open Framework for the Provision of Emergency Accommodation," targeting the services category within the East Midlands, UK. The contract aims to secure two types of accommodations—room-only and self-contained options—under a framework set to begin on 1st April 2026 and run until 31st March 2029, with the possibility of extending up to 60 months. This open procedure is compliant with the Light Touch Regime under the Procurement Regulations 2024. Interested suppliers must express their interest by 11:30 pm on 17th December 2025, with tender submissions due by 10:00 am on 18th December 2025. The estimated contract value is £68 million, providing significant opportunity for service providers in services related to bed and breakfast establishments.

This tender offers an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in emergency accommodation, particularly those with experience in providing services to local councils under legislative requirements, such as the Homeless Reduction Act 2017. The framework not only supports Derby City Council but also enables Erewash Borough Council to utilise the service, likely enhancing the potential market size. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, presenting an advantageous opening for a diverse range of businesses to establish or expand their presence within public sector contracts.

Notice Title

Open Framework for the Provision of Emergency Accommodation

Notice Description

Derby City Council is seeking to appoint suppliers of emergency accommodation to an open framework through which it can purchase the accommodation it needs to fulfil its statutory duties and other emerging need. Derby City Council is seeking suppliers who can deliver to this specification and the standards stated within it, with emergency accommodation for homeless people owed duties under the Homeless Reduction Act 2017 or placed under a legislative power. The provision of emergency nightly paid accommodation is a part of the Council's response to homeless households whom the Council has determined have nowhere else to be accommodated that night. These households at this point are considered homeless. As part of the agreed nightly placement of a household in emergency accommodation, the Council will continue to work with the household to relieve their homelessness and discharge their statutory duties as quickly as possible. The following two lots are required for the framework: * Lot 1 - Room Only emergency accommodation * Lot 2 - Self-contained emergency accommodation The scope for these is further detailed in the document TD2177 - ITT Part 3 Specification The primary user of the framework will be Derby City Council but we have included provision for Erewash Borough Council to use the framework for their Emergency Accommodation Requirements if necessary. The value of any spend incurred by Erewash Borough Council from this framework is unlikely to exceed PS500,000.00 per annum. Due to the nature of the services to be procured, the Council will be permitted to use the Framework in a number of ways in accordance with the Light Touch Regime (Section 9 and Schedule 1 of the Procurement Regulations 2024) and any subsequent amendment or re-enactment thereof. The initial Framework period is three years. the Framework is estimated to commence 1st April 2026 and expire 31st March 2029. There will be an option to extend the Framework for up to 60 months by creating new "Successive" frameworks, subject to satisfactory performance, funding and business needs. Please note suppliers wishing to express interest and obtain the documentation must do so by 11.30pm on 17/12/2025. It is recommended that you express interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit a bid.
