Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract for temporary accommodation services under the title "CT1061W - Temporary Accommodation Services". This procurement falls within the industry category of social work services with accommodation and is specifically designed to provide short-term lets for adults at risk of homelessness in the UKM75 region, which corresponds to Edinburgh. The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to unforeseen needs. The award was made on 16th January 2025 to Lochend Serviced Apartments, with the total contract value being GBP 540,500. The tender stage is complete, and the award status is active.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in short-term accommodation services, particularly those with experience in housing vulnerable populations. The project aims to ensure a steady supply of suitable accommodation for adults at risk of homelessness, thereby creating a stable market for suppliers in this sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Lochend Serviced Apartments, which are capable of rapidly mobilising resources to meet emergent needs, would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. This initiative not only supports the council's efforts to tackle homelessness but also invites businesses to contribute towards social welfare while growing their market presence.
