UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council intends to procure temporary accommodation services across North Lincolnshire through a framework. The requirement supports the council’s statutory homelessness duties, providing accommodation while homelessness applications are assessed and helping people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The service is expected to offer choice of suitable accommodation throughout the area, maintain a high standard, and ensure vulnerable adults have appropriate support arrangements. The scope includes hotel services and real estate services. The council currently uses temporary accommodation for around 25 people each night. It also wants continued access to emergency accommodation and arrangements with local hotels and guest houses to manage provision effectively across North Lincolnshire.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced an intention to establish a framework and has not invited tenders. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and is expected to use a framework agreement. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled through the council’s e-tendering portal, with responses or activity expected by 4 September 2026; further engagement may be arranged if required. The planned arrangement covers one lot for the whole of North Lincolnshire. The council’s stated focus is accommodation choice, quality standards, suitable support for vulnerable adults, emergency access, and effective use of local hotels and guest houses.

The planned framework should suit hotels, guest houses, accommodation providers, landlords, property businesses and organisations able to provide or arrange temporary housing across North Lincolnshire. It is also marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Providers should be prepared to accommodate people affected by homelessness, including vulnerable adults, while homelessness decisions or prevention and relief duties are being managed. Relevant strengths include access to suitable properties across the area, the ability to provide emergency placements, reliable accommodation standards, and arrangements for appropriate support. Local operators may be well placed to contribute, particularly where they can offer flexible capacity and work with the council to maintain consistent provision.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Temporary Accommodation Provision Across North Lincolnshire

Notice Description

North Lincolnshire Council has a statutory duty to provide accommodation as detailed in Section 188 of the Housing Act 1996.This requires the council to provide temporary accommodation whilst a decision is made on an applicant's homelessness application. Furthermore, the introduction of the Homeless Reduction Act 2017 places additional statutory duties on the local authority to provide prevention and relief duties for those at risk of becoming or who are homeless within the next 56 days. Currently the council provides temporary accommodation on average to 25 people every night across North Lincolnshire. Going forward we want to ensure that where we do use temporary accommodation there is choice available across all of North Lincolnshire and that it is of a high standard and vulnerable adults we house in these establishments have appropriate support arrangements in place. Therefore, it is our intention to undertake a procurement exercise to establish a framework for the purchase of temporary accommodation across the whole of North Lincolnshire. However, it is acknowledged that there is a need to retain access to emergency temporary accommodation and to have contracts in place with local hotels and guest houses to allow for effective management of the provision.
