Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council, located at Waverley Court, Edinburgh, has concluded a contracting process, dated 5 May 2025, for the provision of Private Rented Accommodation across Edinburgh. This procurement falls under the 'General public services' industry category. The process reached the award stage, with key activities taking place in April 2024, when the contract was signed for an amount of £97,454. This restricted procedure sought to address homelessness through housing solutions involving self-contained accommodation for individuals, couples, and families. The contracted services are anticipated to have a low turnover of rooms, with occupants likely residing for approximately 18 months or longer. Businesses interested in similar opportunities should note the specified categories and procurement mechanisms used in this contracting process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the property management sector, especially those capable of providing housing solutions on a large scale. It involves a direct award from the Temporary Accommodation Flexible Purchasing System. Companies like Arc Property Solution (EDB) LTD, an SME, have successfully entered the contract as the supplier. The procurement method 'selective' and fostering collaboration with local governing bodies can enhance business growth for enterprises capable of delivering housing and associated support services. Business ventures that can facilitate socially responsible accommodations, pay the real Living Wage, and manage a prompt payment operation across their supply chains may particularly benefit from participating in such public procurement processes.
