This procurement aimed to secure temporary housing solutions under a "Light Touch Regime (LTR)" service. The process took place in the UKJ region, with specific addresses in Folkestone, Hythe, and surrounding areas. The tender stage was completed with a contract period from 8th April 2025 to 31st October 2025, and it aimed to operate within a budget of £480,000 gross.
