The Council has committed to securing temporary accommodation properties with an ambitious goal of acquiring approximately 1000 new properties in the next 1 to 3 years to fulfil this statutory requirement.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: The Authority intends to award the contract to a single supplier; however, it reserves the right to appoint a second-source supplier to mitigate supply risks. Should the second-source supplier option be activated, this would result in two separate contracts. The estimated total value is PS2.5 million over five years (inclusive of any extension, but exclusive of VAT). This figure is non-binding; actual expenditure may increase, or decrease based on demand.

Renewal: A year's extension is allowed but will be subject to the successful delivery of the contract (including KPIs) and at the Authority's sole discretion.
