This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed a procurement process for CT1061W - Temporary Accommodation Services, to provide short-term housing for adults at risk of homelessness. This initiative falls under the industry category of General Public Services and is located in Edinburgh, UKM75. The procurement method used was a direct award, justified by the lack of a suitable supply market and the urgency of the need. The contract, valued at GBP 540,500, was signed on 16th January 2025, and the award was officially announced on 10th February 2025. The procurement was conducted under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and aligns with the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in temporary accommodation services, particularly those equipped to handle short-notice requirements. Such businesses can gain a foothold in the public services sector and build relationships with local authorities. SMEs, especially those like Lochend Serviced Apartments, the awarded supplier, are well-suited to benefit from this procurement process by meeting the immediate needs of the Council and potentially securing future contracts through frameworks like the Temporary Accommodation Flexible Procurement System.
