Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has recently completed a procurement process to secure emergency temporary accommodation for homeless households in the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames. The procurement titled "Homeless Hostel/Housing" falls under the industry category of letting services of short-stay furnished accommodation. It aims to provide vital housing support for vulnerable residents who are not intentionally homeless. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract being awarded on 13th May 2025 to the YMCA St Paul's Group. This award was conducted under a limited procurement method due to the absence of competition on technical grounds, as only one supplier in the borough was identified to meet the requirements outlined by the local authority.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for large economic operators with experience in accommodation services to engage in public contracts, as specialised capabilities are required to meet such unique demands. Businesses that can provide secure, quality accommodation and have demonstrated capacity for delivering targeted community support and integration services are well-suited to compete in similar procurements. Engaging in such contracts not only aids in social responsibility but also promotes sustainable business growth by fostering partnerships with regional authorities.
