This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of private rented accommodation services, specifically aimed at individuals and families experiencing homelessness within Edinburgh. The process, identified under contract number CT0627-282, falls within the general public services industry category and utilises a selective procurement method known as a restricted procedure. The main procurement stage is completed, with the contract being awarded to KC PROPERTIES SCOTLAND LTD. The contract, valued at £3,279,525, was signed on 1st April 2024 and involves the provision of self-contained accommodation with the aim of improving housing support skills among the occupants. The arrangement anticipates a low turnover of occupancy with an average stay length of 18 months. The services provided under this contract are expected to create a supportive environment that assists individuals in transitioning to permanent housing solutions.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Edinburgh and potentially for firms outside the EU. Businesses specialising in property management services, especially those with expertise in social and affordable housing, would find this tender particularly relevant. As the contracting authority requires the provision of visiting support services, companies capable of offering holistic housing solutions, incorporating tenancy support and management skills, would be well-suited for this opportunity. The procurement requires adherence to strict payment practices and a commitment to paying the real Living Wage to employees, ensuring a fair and equitable business environment.
