Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire West and Chester Council is currently in the tender stage of its procurement process for the Hotels Framework 2026, focused on providing emergency accommodation within local hotels. This initiative falls under the industry category of hotel accommodation services and is set within the UKD63 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure with a framework agreement in place, allowing participation from a broad range of suppliers. The deadline for tender submissions is 20 April 2026. Notably, the council plans to award contracts by 20 May 2026, with these contracts set to begin from 1 August 2026 and potentially extend up to 2030.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in hotel accommodation services, particularly those capable of providing competitive pricing and availability. With a gross value of £11,000,000, there is substantial potential for growth through long-term collaboration with the Council. The procurement is well-suited for SMEs, benefitting companies that can negotiate bulk booking rates and participate in mini competitions. Furthermore, businesses with a strong presence or operational capacity within the UKD63 region will find this tender particularly advantageous.
