UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Borough Council intends to establish a framework for temporary emergency accommodation for homeless households who need somewhere to stay at short notice. The service is night-paid accommodation, with hotel accommodation identified as the relevant service category. Delivery is in Gateshead, England. This requirement is aimed at providers able to supply suitable accommodation at short notice for households referred for emergency housing. The council is the buyer and the framework is planned as a way to arrange accommodation services for these placements.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to buy the service, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish the next notice on 1 December 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. The planned framework has one lot. Its anticipated contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 30 April 2029, with a possible extension to 30 April 2031. Renewal is planned. No estimated contract value, tender procedure or evaluation criteria are stated at this stage. The buyer has identified a light-touch services regime and plans to use a framework agreement.

This is relevant to accommodation providers, including hotels and other operators able to make rooms available for emergency placements at short notice in Gateshead. Suppliers should be prepared to support homeless households and to respond to placement needs as they arise, rather than provide a fixed, scheduled stay service. The planned framework and single-lot structure indicate a requirement covering the council’s temporary emergency accommodation service as a whole. Providers with sufficient local accommodation capacity and the operational ability to accept placements promptly are likely to be best placed to prepare. The published plan does not set out specific accreditations, staffing qualifications or experience thresholds, so businesses should monitor the later procurement details for requirements affecting participation.
