## Summary

Colchester City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Temporary Accommodation at Avon Way House, Colchester" for the provision of flexible accommodation services. The contract, valued at GBP 16,000,000, addresses the high demand for affordable temporary housing for homeless households, including families with children and individuals with complex needs. Located in the East of England, the project ensures suitable facilities and accommodation. The procurement, completed on 18th October 2024, saw the award and contract start date aligned with the tender period ending on the same day, and it will run until 18th October 2029.

The contract presents significant business growth opportunities for firms in the accommodation services industry, particularly those that can offer the required facilities within tight schedules. Colchester City Council's focus on addressing specific needs within its borough makes this an excellent chance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage. Beyond the Box Student Limited, an SME, was awarded the contract, underlining the council's commitment to supporting smaller organisations with the capability to fulfil such specialised requirements.
