Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council has completed the procurement process for the "Hotels Framework 2026", an open framework for local hotel accommodation services, spanning from 2026 to 2028 with options for extensions up to 2030. This procurement falls under the services category and utilises an open procedure method. Key dates include the award notice published on 12th May 2026, and the contract period beginning on 1st August 2026, ending on 31st July 2028. The procurement location is within the UKD63 region in the United Kingdom, addressing requirements for emergency accommodation within the borough. The framework will allow for two one-year extensions, providing flexibility in contract duration.

This award presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in hotel accommodation services, specifically those classified as SMEs, as evidenced by the successful bids from both OPH PROPERTY HOLDINGS LIMITED and QUARTERZ LTD. The framework offers a robust platform for growth, particularly advantageous for businesses capable of providing competitive rates and availability. Participants can benefit from bulk booking negotiations and mini-competitions, ensuring that even smaller enterprises have a chance to compete effectively based on price and service quality. This procurement process caters well to businesses positioned to leverage framework agreements for sustained service delivery within the local hospitality industry.
