Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney is initiating a procurement process for a Temporary Accommodation Framework aimed at providing accommodation services for homeless residents. The project is significant with a gross value of approximately £422.4 million, and it is currently in the planning stage. The procurement involves market engagement activities, including a Market Engagement Questionnaire to be completed by 10 September 2026, and an event scheduled for 24 September 2026, which will take place in the Hackney region, UK. The procurement is organised under the services category, and the subsequent framework is expected to be split into multiple lots, covering a variety of temporary accommodation types. This process is anticipated to commence with a contract period starting on 1 January 2028 and concluding on 31 December 2035, with a planned future notice date on 29 January 2027.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in providing accommodation-related services, such as Bed and Breakfasts, hostels, and private sector leasing. The framework is designed to accommodate small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), making it well-suited for diverse business types aiming to expand their operations in the public sector. The presence of multiple lots within the framework implies that there are varied opportunities tailored to different accommodation needs, allowing businesses to align their specific strengths with the demands of the framework. This opens avenues for entities that can deliver furnished accommodation solutions, manage emergency housing needs, or offer specialised provisions for persons with no recourse to public funds.
