Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has concluded a procurement process with the award for the provision of emergency temporary accommodation services, titled "Homeless Hostel/Housing." The award, made on 30th June 2025, is for the industry category relating to letting services of short-stay furnished accommodation. The contract runs from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2030, involving an amount of £3,951,000. This direct award was granted due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, adhering to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement method used was a direct award, and the awarded service will be located within the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames, ensuring eligible homeless households have access to essential local services.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for growth, particularly for businesses that provide accommodation services or are involved in community support and housing sectors. While the opportunity was ultimately awarded to YMCA Surbiton at St Paul's Group, which is well-suited due to its capacity and presence in the borough, other businesses with similar capabilities and interests in the region could potentially benefit from engaging in further market engagement or developing partnerships. The focus on retaining support for local services indicates a need for organisations adept at integrating community and educational resources for vulnerable populations, making it an attractive prospect for businesses that are SMEs or VCSEs looking to expand their services in the social housing sector.
