Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking to provide Private Rented Accommodation through a tender identified as CT0627-002. This contract target is aimed at offering self-contained housing for single households, couples, and families with children who are experiencing homelessness in Edinburgh. The procurement is in the Award stage, having been signed on 16 December 2021, with a total value of £1,043,900. The procurement method used was a selective procedure under a Temporary Accommodation Flexible Purchasing System, indicating that only pre-qualified suppliers could bid for this contract.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses involved in property management, real estate, or housing services, especially those with experience in providing accommodation to vulnerable communities. With the ongoing focus on community benefits, competitors who can deliver social value and support services will have a competitive advantage. Given that only one supplier, R1 Properties, was awarded the contract, there may still be potential for other businesses to enter similar future opportunities or partner with awarded contractors to help meet ongoing local housing needs.
