## Summary

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe has completed the procurement process for the provision of temporary accommodation for homeless households across Folkestone and, if required, in other areas. This contract, titled "Provision of Temporary Accommodation 2026," has been awarded following an open procurement procedure and is governed by the legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54. The process concluded with contracts awarded on 18th December 2025, with services anticipated to commence on 19th January 2026 and run through to 18th January 2027, with options for up to three one-year extensions. Focused within the services category, this tender addresses short-stay furnished accommodation and hotel services, tabling an opportunity for SMEs to deliver high-quality, safe, and suitably located accommodation, especially within the UKJ44 region (Kent, UK).

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in temporary accommodation services. Businesses that can provide diverse accommodation solutions that meet high-quality and safety standards, while maintaining competitive pricing, stand to benefit significantly from a network of ongoing partnerships with the council. Suitable businesses include those offering hotel services, short-stay furnished accommodations, and bed-and-breakfast establishments. The opportunity for contract renewal and extension up to a total span of five years further strengthens its appeal, offering potential long-term business relationships with the council.
