## Summary

The West Sussex County Council is seeking a service provider for the Provision of Accommodation Management Service to secure housing for Afghan Refugees. This opportunity involves entering into a lease for multiple units of accommodation, aimed at alleviating demand for temporary housing. The procurement is an urgent process under Regulation 27(5) with a value of £1,250,000, using an open procedure. The tender deadline for electronic and written submissions is 21st November 2023.

This procurement by the Council presents an opportunity for service providers specializing in residential building rental or sale services to engage in a five-year subleasing arrangement. Businesses with experience in managing properties and providing accommodation services would be well-suited to compete. The Council is located in Chichester, United Kingdom, and is currently at the tender stage, offering potential for growth through this contract.

## Notice

Since November 2021, West Sussex County Council (the "Council") has been responsible for providing support for Afghan Refugees and family groups at two bridging hotels in the county for people arriving from Afghanistan under the British government resettlement scheme. The bridging hotels were served closure notices by the Home Office, in accordance with government requirements. The hotels closed on 31 August 2023.

The Council has an opportunity to enter into a lease to secure a block of flats providing multiple units of accommodation for a cohort of Afghan Refugees.

This will alleviate the demand for the use of more expensive temporary accommodation and provide longer-term housing, for couples, small family groups and individuals, who are already living and working in the area.

The Council wishes to enter a five-year sub lease or alternative arrangement with a Service, so that the Service Provider manages this property on behalf of the Council (for duration of the five-year lease). It is proposed that the provider will enter a full insuring and repairing sub lease with the Council.

The Council will provide full access to all surveys and reports, carried out as part of the Council's due diligence, prior to entering the main lease.

For full details of the services, please see Document 2: Service Specification.
