Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured a property preparation service for accommodation in Hampshire. The service furnishes and equips properties before the arrival of individuals and families relocating to the county, mainly through the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme, Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy and UK Resettlement Scheme. It can also support people who arrived through Community Sponsorship or transferred into Hampshire. The supplier is responsible for procuring, delivering, setting up and preparing white goods, furniture, bedding, kitchen and bathroom equipment, and curtains or blinds. The requirement also includes furniture repair and maintenance, with flexible staffing and the ability to operate at full capacity when demand rises. This is a public-sector resettlement and accommodation support service, combining logistics, furnishing and preparation work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a single-lot open procedure. Six bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. Kayoski Care Limited was awarded the contract on 23 June 2026 for £777,600 excluding VAT (£933,120 including VAT), covering 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2030. NEON INTEGRATED SERVICES LTD received a separate award on 28 July 2026 for £777,600 excluding VAT (£933,120 including VAT), covering 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and is active from 4 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Evaluation weighted reliable service delivery at 50%, the end-to-end approach at 40%, and removal and delivery price at 10%.

This award shows a sustained Hampshire requirement for suppliers able to prepare resettlement accommodation from end to end, rather than provide furniture alone. Credible competitors would need dependable procurement and delivery arrangements, practical teams able to install and set up goods in matched properties, and the operational capacity to respond flexibly when arrivals and requirements change. Experience across domestic furniture, white goods, kitchen and bathroom equipment, bedding, window coverings and associated preparation or repair work would be relevant. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and six SME bids reached the final stage, indicating that the work can be delivered by capable specialist or regional businesses. Suppliers should also be able to manage changing Home Office requirements, fluctuating volumes, labour and fuel costs, and continuity during local government reorganisation.
