## Summary

Chelmsford City Council is establishing an Interim Temporary Accommodation Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to manage interim temporary accommodation for homeless people and families. The procurement falls under the housing services category and operates mainly in the East of England. The DPS began on 1st January 2020 and initially ran for four years, with updates extending it to possibly last until 31st December 2026. The procurement stage is active, and the tender follows a restricted procedure, favouring selective procurement. The estimated contract value is £10,000,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for providers of accommodation, landlords, and B&B operators. Given that the contracting authority considers the contract suitable for Small or Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), businesses within these categories can benefit from the DPS by diversifying their service offerings and building steady revenue streams through long-term public sector collaboration. Enterprises with the capacity to offer emergency housing services would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity.

However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Chelmsford City Council is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the management of Interim Temporary Accommodation to Homeless People and Families. Providers of Accommodation, Landlords, and B&B Operators are asked to apply for a place on the DPS so that the Council can create a broad range of accommodation options. The DPS will initially be solely used by Chelmsford City Council but may be expanded to be available to other Essex based Councils who exercise the statutory emergency housing service. The DPS will begin to operate on 1st January 2020 for a four year period. Details are available at and applications must be made to https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-title/T589D2P23Z
