## Summary

Cherwell District Council is currently in the planning stage of its public procurement process for the provision of temporary accommodation. The project, titled "Temporary Accommodation Provision," falls under the services industry category and is specifically classified under housing services. The council seeks to secure hotel rooms or similar short-stay accommodations within the Cherwell district for temporary use by homeless households. The procurement will enable bookings to be made at short notice, including outside office hours. A preliminary market engagement notice was published on 15th May 2025, with a scheduled engagement milestone due by 1st June 2025. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 1st August 2025 and conclude on 1st August 2027. The expected contract value is £800,000, with Cherwell District Council acting as the buyer.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the hospitality sector that can provide flexible room booking services, either individually or in consortia. The arrangement particularly suits establishments capable of managing their operations independently while coordinating with the council's single point of contact. Smaller enterprises, such as SMEs and VCSEs, are encouraged to consider tendering, as the contract is designed to be inclusive. Businesses offering room-only services without additional amenities like food or laundry may find this opportunity particularly advantageous. The council's willingness to work with multiple suppliers also opens doors for those able to supply fewer rooms than the full 40 required, enabling a diverse range of businesses to participate and potentially benefit from this procurement.

## Notice

Expression of Interest for Temporary Accommodation, The Council requires provision of hotel rooms, or similar short stay accommodation, within the Cherwell district for use as temporary accommodation for homeless households. These bookings are required to be made and delivered at short notice, on the day of contact, and are also to be made outside of office hours or at weekends. The Council is able to either make bookings on a nightly basis for a period of a few weeks or is able to make a block booking of rooms. The Council is looking for the ability to book up to or in excess of 40 rooms. We understand that some establishments may not be able to provide this all in once place or could provide a lower number. We would welcome the opportunity to consider more than one supplier to fulfil our requirements. Proprietors/establishments will be expected to manage the hotel themselves. However, there will be a single point of contact offered at the Council for the management of the contract and bookings. There is no expectation for any additional services to be provided, such as food or laundry. The rooms are offered and paid for as room only.
