Interim Ukrainian Displaced Persons Accommodation Service

SOUTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has finalised a procurement process titled "Interim Ukrainian Displaced Persons Accommodation Service," falling under the services category. The Council, based in Hamilton, UKM95, has been active in facilitating humanitarian assistance, particularly following the Ukraine conflict, with deadlines outlined from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2025, with an option for a six-month extension. This particular process was marked by urgency, leading to the award of the contract without a prior call for competition, due to unforeseeable events requiring swift action. The procurement has reached the award stage and is now complete, with the contract being signed on 14 February 2025 for an amount of £1,170,000 GBP.

This tender is designed to support the accommodation needs of Ukrainian displaced persons, making it an opportunity for businesses involved in humanitarian aid, social services, or housing support. Large-scale organisations like Salvation Army Trustee Company, the contract awardee, are positioned well to compete due to the scale, resources, and expertise required for swift implementation. Businesses capable of providing immediate, reliable, and comprehensive accommodation and support services will find this an advantageous opportunity for growth, especially those with experience in dealing with crisis situations and providing large-scale accommodations at short notice.
