## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed a procurement process for CT1061W - Temporary Accommodation Services, to provide short-term housing for adults at risk of homelessness. This initiative falls under the industry category of General Public Services and is located in Edinburgh, UKM75. The procurement method used was a direct award, justified by the lack of a suitable supply market and the urgency of the need. The contract, valued at GBP 540,500, was signed on 16th January 2025, and the award was officially announced on 10th February 2025. The procurement was conducted under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and aligns with the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in temporary accommodation services, particularly those equipped to handle short-notice requirements. Such businesses can gain a foothold in the public services sector and build relationships with local authorities. SMEs, especially those like Lochend Serviced Apartments, the awarded supplier, are well-suited to benefit from this procurement process by meeting the immediate needs of the Council and potentially securing future contracts through frameworks like the Temporary Accommodation Flexible Procurement System.

## Notice

The council required suitably sized temporary accommodation for short-term lets for adults at risk of homelessness.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The City of Edinburgh Council required short-term Temporary Accommodation Services, to ensure a supply of suitable temporary accommodation for adults at risk of homelessness.

### Procurement Information

Direct Award using the Light Touch Regime provisions of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The Council entered into negotiations with the provider under the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, which states that Public Sector Organisations may award without seeking offers, considering the principles of procurement where relevant. In this instance, there was a lack of suitable supply market the Council could access within the time required. This award is a temporary measure only. The Council has re-opened and extend provision under its Temporary Accommodation Flexible Procurement System Framework (CT0627) for future requirements.
