UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited procured temporary accommodation services for customers who need emergency housing. The service is intended for situations including damp, mould and condensation, fire, flooding, or major planned or reactive repairs, and is limited to sourcing suitable accommodation in emergencies. The work covers accommodation services across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. Orbit Group Limited is the buyer and a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The requirement is a service rather than a supply of accommodation assets or construction works, with the practical focus on arranging appropriate temporary places to stay when customers cannot remain in their homes.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Orbit Group Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Spare Crib Global Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 2 June 2027. Its value is £150,000 gross. The requirement was presented as one completed lot. The award covers accommodation services delivered across England, from the North East and North West through Yorkshire, the Midlands and eastern regions to London and the South West. The available procurement information identifies the direct-award route; it does not set out a competitive scoring model or separate quality and price weightings.

This procurement shows recurring operational demand from Orbit Group Limited for a specialist emergency accommodation sourcing capability. A credible future competitor would need to identify suitable temporary accommodation quickly when housing becomes unsafe or unavailable because of damp, mould, condensation, fire, flooding, or significant repair works. Suppliers should be able to support customers across England, including major urban areas and regions from the North East to the South West, rather than serving only one local market. Relevant strengths include access to a broad accommodation network, reliable emergency response and booking processes, and the ability to match available accommodation to customer circumstances. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor.
