This falls under the services industry category, specifically hotel and accommodation services. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone due on 28th January 2026, by which completed questionnaires should be submitted. This project aims to provide temporary accommodation for single individuals in the Wakefield District, without the need for prior assessments, and includes a quick referral process with a high acceptance rate. The contract is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2030. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in accommodation services, especially those capable of offering flexible, short-term housing solutions and a supportive environment for vulnerable individuals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited given the project's requirements for collaborative work with local agencies. The procurement seeks providers with strong partnerships in the community, enhancing prospects for substantial business growth and the development of crucial service networks within the locality. ## Notice Preliminary Market Engagement: We are seeking to provide a service that will offer suitable and safe temporary accommodation within the Wakefield District to single people without the need for an assessment to access it. A basic referral will be given to the accommodation provider, and the provider will need to let the Council know if they can provide accommodation within 15 minutes of receiving the referral. It is expected that 95% of referrals will be accepted into the service. The accommodation will deliver: * Around 11 units of single person accommodation - there may be a need to provide some flexibility around the number of beds provided at any one time. * A support package to those accommodated * Referrals for those accommodated into specialist services. The provider should have strong partnership working arrangements with agencies providing services and support for vulnerable groups. * Work alongside Council staff to assist service users moving on from the contracted accommodation into further mainstream accommodation ### Planning Information This Market Engagement is to enable the council to better understand the market and opportunities in terms of temporary emergency accommodation.
