Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council has established a temporary accommodation framework to secure suitable accommodation for homeless households in Wolverhampton. The requirement covers health and social work services associated with providing interim accommodation until households can move to secure, assured or private-sector assured shorthold tenancies. The council expects to require approximately 140 properties at any one time, with the framework intended to maintain provision continuously. The arrangement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is an open, flexible framework that can accommodate further suppliers when reopened, while retaining the existing framework terms and requirements. The service category is health and social work services (CPV 85000000).

This procurement has reached the award stage. Wolverhampton City Council used an above-threshold open procedure for a single-lot light-touch services framework. The award, dated 28 July 2026, is pending and names five suppliers: Exclusive Housing Solutions Limited, Marston & Heath Limited, Rent Connect Housing Limited, Rneyz Housing Limited and Centennial Property Limited. The awarded framework value is £25,000,000 gross. The awarded contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with one optional two-year extension allowing a maximum end date of 31 August 2031. The framework permits call-offs with or without reopening competition. Evaluation weighted implementation planning at 50%, experience at 10%, repairs and maintenance at 10%, protected characteristics at 10%, addressing contractual breaches at 10%, and social value at 10%.

This award shows sustained demand from Wolverhampton City Council for providers able to supply and manage temporary accommodation for homeless households at substantial local scale. Credible competitors would need access to suitable residential properties, the operational capacity to maintain accommodation provision, and experience delivering temporary accommodation. They would also need robust implementation planning, effective repairs and maintenance arrangements, and processes for monitoring performance and addressing breaches of contractual terms. The evaluation placed particular emphasis on implementation capability, while also testing how suppliers address protected characteristics and deliver social value. The successful supplier profile included housing, property and care organisations, and the framework was explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Temporary Accommodation Framework

Notice Description

The Housing Act 1996 part VII (as amended by the 2002 Homelessness Act) requires all councils to ensure that interim accommodation is available to homeless households seeking assistance under the homeless legislation and, if a statutory homeless duty is accepted, that provision of temporary accommodation must continue until the homeless household is offered either a secure tenancy, or assured tenancy; or an assured short hold tenancy within the private sector. The council will require approximately 140 properties for households at any one time as part of this framework agreement. The intention of the framework is to provide suitable provision for temporary accommodation at all times. The procurement is for services which are considered Light Touch Regime (LTR) services under the Procurement Act 2023, as specified in Section of the Act. This document describes how the Procurement will be conducted, including details of the associated Procurement timetable, award criteria and how to respond to this opportunity. The initial term will be for 3 (three) years, with the option for 1 (one) 2 (two) year extension. The framework will be based on minimum acceptable performance (map) being met by the tenderer as identified via key performance indicators. The total framework term will not exceed 5 (five) years. The local authority will create an open, flexible framework in accordance with Section 9 (5) and 45 (9) in the act. The authority reserves the right to re-open the framework at any time to allow further suppliers to bid. When reopening the framework, the authority will not change any T & C's or framework requirements.
