Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council is progressing with the award phase of its procurement process for the Emergency Accommodation Flexible Light Touch Framework 2026. This initiative aims to appoint qualified providers to deliver emergency accommodation to meet its statutory duties for homeless households. The tender spans a substantial industry category encompassing health and social work services. The contracts, expected to commence on 14th April 2026, will extend up to 2030 or even 2033, should needs persist. With the procurement method being open procedure under the UK Procurement Act 2023 light touch regulations, the Council plans to directly award contracts starting on 10th April 2026 after the standstill period ending on 8th April 2026. The framework agreement allows suppliers to provide accommodation in three distinct lots tailored for single adults, couples, and families within the UKK12 region, ensuring flexibility through potential renewals and options.

The framework opens valuable business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs with capabilities in providing emergency accommodation solutions. Suppliers like Centennial Property Limited, Jasvin Hostels Ltd, Connolly & Callaghan Limited, and others have been positioned to benefit from this lucrative procurement, bringing prospects for sustained revenue due to predicted inflation, employee wage hikes, and demographic demands. This process seeks businesses that can offer high-quality, cost-effective accommodation solutions, making it especially appealing for enterprises with social work expertise and furnished accommodation services. Additionally, the ability to adapt to changing requirements and provide timely, needs-specific accommodations means that suppliers can expand their reach and solidify their footprint within the public sector housing market.
