Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for "Temporary Accommodation Maintenance Services," focused on maintaining its portfolio of temporary housing properties. This project, identified as ocds-h6vhtk-051688, involves properties both owned and leased by the Council. The Council, located in Bedford, UK, will have its temporary accommodation services maintained and expanded from 137 units to 321 by 2028. The procurement was executed through an open procedure, with the process reaching the award stage as of 28th October 2025. The procurement covers services in property management, specifically in real estate services relating to contract-based maintenance, with the final award pending the contract's signature scheduled by 8th November 2025. The contract spans from 2026 to 2029, with potential renewals up to 2031, valued at £7,000,000, grossed to £8,400,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large contractors with prowess in residential property management and maintenance. Firms like HCR Limited, the awarded supplier, and others specializing in statutory inspections, repairs, and ad hoc maintenance work stand to benefit. The contract offers scope for service expansion and revenue through planned and responsive repairs, tapping into a well-defined market led by public authority needs. Companies able to respond efficiently to such scales and diversifications in service will find fruitful potential for enhancing service portfolios and establishing long-term relationships with sub-central governmental bodies like Bedford Borough Council.
