## Summary

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council commissioned emergency accommodation services for individuals and families who have become homeless. The requirement covers hotels and bed-and-breakfast accommodation, with associated health, social and community services. Delivery is within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. The work is classified as services, including health and social work services and other community, social and personal services. It is a single requirement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include hotel and B&B operators, accommodation providers, supported housing organisations and providers able to help the council place and accommodate homeless individuals and families safely.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. It used one lot. Five suppliers received active awards dated 14 September 2026: DOOLE'S LIMITED, THE SHARED LIVING GROUP LTD, VALIANT HOMES LIMITED, VOID HOMES LTD and WEST EDESSA LIMITED. Each award is worth £175,000 gross, giving each supplier the same contracted allocation. The contract period for every award runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The council also recorded a separate pending award of £2,562,500 gross for the same requirement, but no supplier is named against it. The procurement is subject to the light-touch regime. No separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting is published in the procurement data.

This award demonstrates established local demand for emergency accommodation for homeless individuals and families, delivered through hotels and B&Bs and supported by health, social and community services. A future competitor would need dependable accommodation capacity, the ability to accept placements at short notice and arrangements suitable for both individuals and families. Providers should be able to work with Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council on placements, occupancy, safeguarding and day-to-day liaison, while maintaining accommodation standards appropriate to people experiencing homelessness. The buyer has used several suppliers, including four SMEs and one larger business, so credible organisations can include independent accommodation operators, specialist supported housing providers and larger multi-site providers. Experience delivering accommodation or related homelessness support would strengthen a supplier’s position.
