## Summary

Chelmsford City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Temporary Accommodation" contract, aimed at addressing the rising demand for temporary housing in Chelmsford, Essex. This contract, procured under an open procedure, complements the existing dynamic purchasing system by providing a fixed supply stream of accommodation over a two-year period. The awards have been made to multiple suppliers across two lots. Lot 1 focuses on Chelmsford, while Lot 2 covers adjacent areas such as Braintree, Maldon, and other regions. The contract was awarded on 5th August 2026, with a contract period from 20th August 2026 to 19th August 2028 for Lot 1, and to 18th August 2028 for Lot 2.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, due to its focus on securing a consistent provision of accommodation services. Companies with experience in housing and accommodation services and those capable of offering flexible, high-quality solutions stand to benefit from the fixed-price contracts. The opportunity to collaborate with a public authority such as Chelmsford City Council in offering essential services amplifies growth potential in the property management sector, further fostering business relations within the public procurement sector.

## Notice

Chelmsford City Council (the Council), in the heart of Essex, has a legal duty to provide temporary accommodation (TA) to hundreds of residents in Chelmsford who have become homeless. With rising demand, Chelmsford City Council has decided to ensure that we can keep up with this demand and procure a fixed number of properties to be used when needed. This fixed term TA contract will complement the Council's existing dynamic purchasing system (DPS) which was designed to facilitate the short-term ad-hoc purchase of TA. This Contract will operate in addition to the DPS and is intended to secure a TA supply stream at a fixed price for at least the next two years. After a two-stage competeitive tendering procedure, both Lots have now been awarded to more than one supplier.
