## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured emergency accommodation services for individuals and families who have become homeless. The requirement covers the provision of hotel and bed-and-breakfast accommodation, supporting the council’s response to homelessness. It is a service contract within the health, social work and wider community and personal services sector, with one lot. Delivery is associated with the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. The selected provider base includes accommodation and housing businesses, as well as a provider whose listed service classification includes education and training. This opportunity is therefore relevant to hotels, B&B operators, housing and property providers, and organisations able to arrange or manage emergency accommodation for homeless people.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. Five suppliers were selected separately for the single requirement: Doole’s Limited, The Shared Living Group Ltd, West Edessa Limited, Valiant Homes Limited and Watson Holmes Lettings Limited. Each award has a contract value of £175,000 gross. All five contracts were signed on 14 September 2026 and run from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award route was a non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender, so the published outcome identifies the appointed suppliers but does not set out a scored evaluation basis. Each supplier holds an active award and active contract.

This procurement demonstrates a requirement for accommodation businesses and housing providers able to supply emergency rooms or units for people and families experiencing homelessness. Credible competitors would need access to suitable hotel, B&B or other residential accommodation, the operational capacity to accept placements at short notice, and the ability to manage availability and occupancy reliably across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. Experience supporting vulnerable people and working with a council or other public-sector commissioner would strengthen a future proposition. The awarded supplier mix shows that both specialist accommodation and property businesses can participate, alongside organisations with broader community or social-service capabilities. Smaller local enterprises were among the selected suppliers.
