Temporary Accommodation with Housing Support

DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COUNCIL

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by Dumfries and Galloway Council, identified under the title "Temporary Accommodation with Housing Support," is primarily focused on addressing homelessness in the Dumfries & Galloway Region. Categorised under general public services in the 'services' industry, this contract aims to provide self-contained accommodation with necessary housing support. The procurement, completed as of 20th February 2025, utilised a 'limited' procurement method owing to the unavailability of alternative suppliers in the area. It was an award procedure executed without prior publication, supported by market research indicating only incumbent suppliers were viable within the given timeframe. The awarded contracts span three separate lots targeting the east and west of the region, with key suppliers being Wheatley Homes South, S & A Homes, and Bethany Christian Trust.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for growth, especially for businesses equipped to provide housing support services or manage emergency accommodation facilities. Companies operating as SMEs, like S & A Homes, or larger organisations like Bethany Christian Trust, which specialise in social housing services, would find this an avenue ripe for exploration. The focused procurement on existing suppliers highlights a niche market with limited competition, presenting potential long-term engagements in the public sector for those already equipped to deliver such services in the Dumfries & Galloway Region. Businesses with skills in rapid accommodation deployment and support services can leverage these contracts to solidify their presence, gain market insights, and potentially expand their operational footprint within the public sector framework.
