Summary of the contracting process

The West Sussex County Council is planning an early engagement for accommodation services. The procurement process aims to identify providers for different types of accommodation such as temporary houses, rooms in multiple occupancy houses, access beds, and unregistered accommodation. The council seeks to understand the capacity and supply of these services in West Sussex before structuring a formal procurement process. Interested providers should contact Nick Buchanan by 17:00 on 16/06/2023.

This tender by the West Sussex County Council presents an opportunity for businesses interested in providing accommodation services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement. The engagement process allows businesses to offer feedback and potentially secure contracts to deliver accommodation services to the council.

Notice Title

WSCC - Early Engagement for Accommodation Services

Notice Description

This soft market testing exercise aims to identify the potential to increase the number and type of organisations who would be interested in the delivery of accommodation to West Sussex County Council. The council is seeking providers of 4 main types of accommodation: 1. Temporary Accommodation Houses for families of children and young people whose families are homeless, and also for refugees and migrants who may be Ukrainian, Afghan and Sudanese. 2. Rooms in Houses of Multiple Occupancy for Ukrainian, Afghan and Sudanese refugees and migrants. 3. Temporary Access Beds (for 16 & 17 year olds) 4. Unregistered accommodation The Council would like to identify providers of these services in order that through soft market testing the council can better understand the capacity and available supply of such accommodation in West Sussex and then moving forward engage with providers to understand how a procurement for such requirements might best be structured. The Council is therefore carrying out a soft market testing exercise to engage in early informal dialogue prior to any formal procurement taking place. Providers interested should contact Nick Buchanan by 17:00 on 16/06/2023. Following this, the Council will contact providers as soon as they respond to seek feedback on the delivery of accommodation services to West Sussex County Council.
