## Summary

Bedford Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bedford, United Kingdom, is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process entitled "Provision of Temporary Accommodation – Nightly Lets." This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on housing services, and is governed by the legal framework established in the Housing Act 1996. The intended framework agreement aims to arrange temporary accommodation on a nightly let basis from various landlords and providers. Significant dates include the future notice date set for 1st April 2026, the start of the contract period on 1st July 2026, and its conclusion on 30th June 2034. This initiative is designed to ensure compliance with statutory duties to provide housing for homeless or at-risk households.

This tender represents an expansion opportunity for businesses specialising in housing services, particularly those with an inventory of temporary accommodation options such as self-contained units and small flats. The establishment of a framework agreement offers flexibility and secure access to various providers and can benefit property landlords and agencies able to facilitate block bookings. The scope of the agreement paves the way for growth within the housing services sector by providing a reliable point of entry into public contracts, aiding businesses in forging long-term partnerships with local authorities like Bedford Borough Council.

## Notice

Bedford Borough Council has a statutory duty to provide accommodation to households who are homeless or threatened with homelessness under Part VII of the Housing Act 1996. To ensure continued compliance with this duty, the Council intends to establish an open framework agreement for the supply of temporary accommodation on a nightly let basis. The framework will enable the Council to secure access to properties from a range of landlords and providers, including the ability to arrange block bookings of smaller self-contained units (such as one-bedroom flats). This will support the Council in maintaining a compliant and competitive route to market for temporary accommodation placements.
