Summary of the contracting process

Places for People Group Limited procured a specialist decant accommodation service from a single provider. The requirement is to arrange safe, suitable and fully compliant temporary accommodation for residents who need to leave their homes while major repairs, redevelopment or refurbishment works take place. The service covers hotel accommodation, short-stay furnished accommodation and residential property renting or leasing. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom. This is a service opportunity for accommodation providers, property letting and leasing businesses, serviced accommodation operators and organisations able to coordinate temporary housing for residents affected by housing works. The selected supplier is Jigsaw Conferences Ltd, an SME based in London.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure, with Jigsaw Conferences Ltd selected as the supplier on 18 August 2026. The award is pending completion of the standstill period, which ends on 27 August 2026. The contract is valued at £13,500,000 gross. Its initial period runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2029, with an option to extend: the award information allows a further two years, to 29 September 2031. Bids were due by 6 July 2026, and enquiries by 28 June 2026. Evaluation was based on quality at 70% and price at 30%. Seven bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. Electronic submission in English was allowed.

This procurement shows sustained demand from Places for People for a managed temporary accommodation service supporting residents displaced by housing works. A credible future competitor would need access to safe and suitable accommodation across the United Kingdom, with the ability to provide compliant placements for residents and manage delivery as a single provider. Relevant capability includes hotel and serviced accommodation supply, short-stay furnished housing, residential property letting or leasing, and the coordination of accommodation at scale. The evaluation outcome indicates that quality was more important than price, so bidders would need to demonstrate dependable service delivery, resident suitability, compliance arrangements and effective operational management, alongside competitive pricing. SMEs were considered suitable to compete.
