The procurement process initiated by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council focuses on providing emergency accommodation and additional staffing, aiming to establish four self-contained units at an existing supporting housing scheme in King's Lynn. The council, operating under the classification of a sub-central government public authority, chose a direct procurement method due to the unique capacity of Sanctuary Housing Association, the property owner, to deliver this service. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract active from 3rd November 2025 until 30th September 2028. The main industry category involved is services, specifically under the provision of short-stay furnished accommodation.
