Westminster City Council has finalised a procurement process for a contract concerning hotel accommodation services in London, specifically targeting rough sleepers during cyclical surge demands like severe weather conditions. The contract, under reference "Hotel accommodation for Cyclical Surge Demand (Rough Sleeping) (RFQ)", is a single-lot service agreement aimed at supplying emergency hotel accommodation near the borough.
