This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, with a total estimated value of £60,000,000. The procurement process is aimed at establishing a system to secure nightly let temporary accommodation for homeless applicants, in line with statutory obligations under the Housing Act 1996, as amended. The deadline for bid submissions is set for 17th May 2021, and this procurement will take place in the UK, specifically within the Milton Keynes area. The contract period is expected to last for a total of four years, with potential renewal options for an additional 24 months. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in accommodation services, particularly those that can provide self-contained units for nightly paid or private sector let schemes. Companies that specialise in temporary housing solutions, management services for furnished and unfurnished accommodation, and those with experience in assisting vulnerable populations would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The dynamic purchasing system allows for continuous admission of suppliers during its term, meaning businesses can apply at any time to become part of this valued network of service providers. ## Notice All Local Authorities have a statutory duty under the Housing Act 1996 Part VII, (as amended by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017) where appropriate, to provide temporary accommodation for homeless applicants pending investigations into their application. Local Authorities also have additional statutory powers to provide help and assistance to other categories of people. Often this requires Local Authorities to provide accommodation to some of the most vulnerable members of the community including, for example, people with mental health issues, physical disabilities and learning disabilities. Local Authorities are also bound by statute to provide suitable temporary accommodation to applicants who are then assessed as homeless until a homeless household can obtain settled housing. This Dynamic Purchasing System is to be established to secure Nightly Let Temporary Accommodation whilst giving the Local Authorities the ability to discharge their duty into the Private Rental Sector. ### Lot Information Lot 1 All Local Authorities have a statutory duty under the Housing Act 1996 Part VII, (as amended by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017) where appropriate, to provide temporary accommodation for homeless applicants pending investigations into their application.
