Summary of the contracting process

The Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to address urgent accommodation needs for overseas nurses by awarding a contract for "Overseas Nurses Accommodation." This procurement, classified under hotel accommodation services, is defined as a limited tender process, with a total contract value of £722,480, signed on 21 January 2022. The service will provide apartment hotel accommodations for nine cohorts of nurses over a 12-month period, ensuring each group of approximately 125 nurses has three months' housing near the hospital, located in Milton Keynes (UKJ12). This limited procurement approach reflects the bespoke requirements shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the urgent need for suitable housing close to the hospital's site.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in accommodation services, particularly those offering serviced apartments that cater to unique requirements, such as proximity to healthcare facilities and amenities like kitchens and bathrooms. Companies that can provide short-term rentals with essential services in Milton Keynes would be well-positioned to compete, given the restricted housing market and specific demands of the contracting authority. Businesses aiming to enter or expand in the healthcare-related accommodation sector can leverage this opportunity toward growth, particularly in response to ongoing staffing challenges in the NHS.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of apartment hotel services for 3 months accommodation for each of 9 cohorts for the total of 125 nurses being recruited from overseas over a 12 month period. Frameworks, councils and rental accommodation not available to meet MKUH bespoke requirement of the scope of works required: - In close proximity to Milton Keynes University Hospital site - Good public transport links - Own amenities including bathroom, kitchenette and maid service - Short resident period of three months per nurse cohort

Procurement Information

Justification for this award is due to the bespoke requirements needed to fulfil urgent staff vacancies at Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Trust. The Covid-19 pandemic has placed unforeseen, extraordinary pressures on health services. This direct award ensures the safe continuity of clinical care of patients. Covid-19 testing also needs to be undertaken on the arrival to the UK so it is imperative the residential addresses are known well in advance of arrival. The apartment block is based in close proximity to MKUH site and meets the requirement of accommodation for the overseas nurses. No other suppliers can meet this requirement due to the limited availability of suitable rental housing within the Milton Keynes area plus the need to have own amenities (bathroom and kitchenette). .
