Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, working with West Norfolk Housing Company, procured management and maintenance of interim and temporary accommodation for homeless households. The service covers 14 self-contained units in King’s Lynn: seven flats at Broad Street owned by West Norfolk Housing Company and seven council-owned properties at Mulberry Terrace. The accommodation is provided to households nominated by the council under homelessness legislation. The requirement includes property management and facilities management, including arranging repairs, managing voids, client accounting and reporting, and maintaining policies and procedures for service delivery. The work is delivered in King’s Lynn and across North and West Norfolk. The procurement is for services, classified under CPV 70330000, property management services for real estate.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 20 November 2024 to Broadland Housing Association Ltd, with one bid recorded, and was signed on 31 March 2025. The contract value is £180,000. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with an option for a further 24 months; renewal is also contemplated after the initial or extended term. Evaluation combined quality and cost. Quality criteria covered response times, case studies and added value, delivery personnel, policies and procedures, repairs, and client accounting and reporting. Cost criteria covered the annual management fee and void costs, plus monthly management costs for additional units. Written submissions were required in English, with electronic ordering and payment available.

This award indicates demand from the council and its housing company for a specialist provider able to manage temporary accommodation for homeless households across a small, dispersed housing portfolio. A credible future competitor would need practical residential property-management and maintenance capability, including responsive repair arrangements, void management, reliable response times, and processes for coordinating additional units. Evidence should include relevant case studies and demonstrable added value, supported by clear policies and procedures. The buyer also values named, suitably qualified service personnel and robust client accounting and reporting. Providers should therefore be able to combine housing operations with transparent financial administration and performance reporting. Housing associations, property-management businesses and facilities-management providers with experience of temporary accommodation and homelessness-related housing services would be well placed.
