Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council commissioned nightly purchased, supplier-managed temporary accommodation in North Northamptonshire. The service is intended to reduce reliance on bed-and-breakfast and hotel placements, keep placements outside the area close to zero, improve the standard of nightly paid accommodation and maximise income from council-owned and privately supplied accommodation. This is accommodation provision and management, rather than the home-care service also mentioned in the procurement description. The requirement is organised as one lot and applies across North Northamptonshire. It is aimed at suppliers able to provide accommodation on a nightly basis and manage it for the Council, supporting its temporary accommodation service improvement work.

The procurement is complete and eight suppliers were selected: Alive Health Care Intl Ltd, C&A Property Ltd, Investco Properties Limited trading as Housing Direct, Rent Connect Housing Ltd, Access Care Group, Icons Group Ltd, Centennial Property Limited and Tri Capital Housing. The stated total value is £27,499,764, with an annual value of £6,874,941.44. The contract term was an initial 36 months, with an option to extend by 12 months, for up to 48 months. Contracts were signed on 17 July 2023. The Council used an open procedure, under the light-touch regime. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2023. The requirement was not divided into lots; the published process gives no evaluation basis.

This award shows demand from North Northamptonshire Council for providers combining access to suitable temporary accommodation with the ability to manage placements on a nightly paid basis. Suppliers competing in this market need to demonstrate that they can provide accommodation within North Northamptonshire and support the Council’s aim of keeping placements outside the area close to zero. The service also calls for standards that improve on reliance on bed-and-breakfast or hotel provision, alongside a commercial approach that supports income from accommodation. The multiple-provider outcome indicates that the requirement was placed with several suppliers rather than a single provider. Property and housing providers with local accommodation supply and operational capacity to manage placements are the closest fit.
