## Summary

This procurement process involves Reading Borough Council, seeking suppliers for the provision of Block Emergency Accommodation to address housing needs. The procurement falls under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and targets accommodation within Reading Borough and its surroundings. The tender stage is complete, with the award made on 23rd June 2025. The contract runs from 20th March 2025 to 19th March 2026, with a total value of £4,599,000. The procurement followed an open procedure, inviting bids that closed on 6th January 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in property management and real estate services, particularly those specialising in emergency accommodation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as the procurement method is designed to include such businesses. The awarded contracts to Ghatahora Properties and Hanningtons Partnership highlight the demand for responsive service providers capable of delivering accommodation at short notice, ensuring they are well-positioned within the specified geographical boundaries. Such engagements can foster business growth through consistent contractual work and expansion of service offerings in the social services sector.

## Notice

Tenders are invited for the supply of emergency accommodation comprising of up to 40 units of one-bedroom accommodation and up to 20 units of two-bedroom accommodation. The emergency accommodation will be used solely by the Council's Housing Needs Teams for placement of households in need. The Provider, or Providers, will be expected to provide a responsive service as bookings are often made at short notice, usually on the day an approach to the Council is made for assistance. The location of accommodation will be factored into the evaluation process with highest priority being given to 1 within Reading Borough Council's boundary and then all other locations within the Reading Broad Market Rental Area that do no fall within RBC's boundary.
