This project, titled "Temporary / Emergency Accommodation," seeks to establish a list of accommodation providers within County Durham and neighbouring authorities.

The contract, with an estimated gross value of £9,000,000, is categorised under accommodation services, and interested parties must note a communication deadline scheduled for March 31, 2026.

Businesses equipped to provide flexible, high-quality accommodation solutions will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their contractual portfolio with a prominent public authority.
