## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract titled "Category 1 C Shared House", focused on providing shared accommodation services within the local authority. This procurement falls under the services category and is characterised as a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The contract was signed on 26 May 2022, and the relevant procurement process has now been completed. The use of the shared house aims to support individuals experiencing homelessness, providing access to essential facilities and accommodations in Edinburgh.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the accommodation services sector, particularly those specialising in shared housing or temporary accommodation solutions. Companies that can offer compliant housing that meets the Unsuitable Accommodation Order requirements, specifically those with expertise in providing staff-supported residences or shared facilities with adequate privacy, would be well-positioned to compete for such contracts. This project can facilitate growth by fostering partnerships with local authorities, helping to address pressing social issues while ensuring business sustainability.

## Notice

This contract is for the provision of Shared House. A Shared House is accommodation with up to forty-five bedrooms (any properties with more rooms must have prior agreement with the Council). Each household (usually an individual or a couple) must have their own lockable bedroom, access to bathroom, living room and kitchen (see service specification for detail for each rooms requirements) It is expected that turnover of rooms will be low. It can take up to two years or more for people assessed as homeless to be offered alternative accommodation. Average length of stay for Shared Houses is approximately 5 months though some are significantly higher or lower than this. Priority will be given to accommodation that does not breach the Unsuitable Accommodation Order by providing either self-contained properties within a block with staff on site 24 hours a day or a shared property which provides each household with exclusive use of toilet and personal washing facilities and access to a living room and kitchen which may be shared with other households. To be deemed as suitable, accommodation must also be accessible 24 hours a day.
