UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hastings Borough Council procured temporary accommodation services comprising a block booking of eight wheelchair-accessible units and 17 rooms in shared housing for multiple occupants. The accommodation supports people who need accessible or shared temporary housing. The services are for delivery in Hastings. The requirement covers both wheelchair-accessible self-contained units and rooms in shared accommodation, so providers need to be able to supply these distinct forms of housing through a coordinated accommodation arrangement. The procurement was classified as housing and accommodation services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Castle Accommodation Ltd. Hastings Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £434,654.17 excluding VAT, or £521,585 including VAT. The award is recorded as active. The requirement was for a 12-month block booking of eight wheelchair-accessible units and 17 rooms in shared housing. The published procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation basis beyond the direct-award route.

For suppliers preparing for a comparable requirement from Hastings Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for temporary housing delivered as a block booking, combining wheelchair-accessible units with rooms in shared accommodation. A credible provider would need access to accommodation in Hastings, the capacity to secure and manage multiple units and rooms together, and the ability to meet accessibility needs for wheelchair users. Experience in housing or accommodation services and the operational capability to coordinate different accommodation types for the council would be relevant. The council used a direct award without competition for this contract, so the award also shows the route used for this particular purchase; it does not establish that future requirements will use the same route.
