Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council is initiating a public procurement process for the provision of temporary accommodation across North Lincolnshire. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with preliminary market engagement opportunities being coordinated through the Council’s E-Tendering Portal. The process is aimed at enhancing the availability and quality of temporary housing for homeless individuals, supported by the statutory requirements of both the Housing Act 1996 and the Homeless Reduction Act 2017. The procurement exercise seeks to establish a framework agreement that will span from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, covering services related to hotel and real estate management. Engagement activities are scheduled to conclude on 4 September 2026, with the geographic focus centred within the UK region of North Lincolnshire, under the main procurement category of services.

This tender offers diverse opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in hotel and real estate services. Companies providing high-standard, supportive accommodations and having the capacity to manage emergency temporary housing will find this procurement an excellent fit. The planned framework will enable businesses to secure contracts with the council and local hotels, thus facilitating a broad reach within North Lincolnshire's accommodation market. The initiative not only presents potential revenue streams but also aligns companies with government strategies to address homelessness and promote social welfare, making it an attractive prospect for forward-thinking and socially responsible entities.

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.
