## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract titled "CT1061U - Temporary Accommodation Services" under the industry category of General public services. The procurement is aimed at providing short-term temporary accommodation for adults at risk of homelessness in Edinburgh. The process, classified under services, has now been completed and moved to the award stage. The contract was signed on 29 November 2024, with key documentations made public on 6 March 2025. The procurement method used was a direct award procedure without prior publication due to the urgent need brought about by unforeseen circumstances. The contract value is £109,680, and it is managed under the light-touch regime as delineated by the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in short-term accommodation services, particularly those with the capacity to respond quickly to urgent needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in providing temporary housing solutions, and those capable of meeting strict regulatory requirements within tight timeframes, would be well-suited to compete in such contracts. The award to Apeiron Stays Limited demonstrates the potential for local SMEs to secure meaningful public contracts, fostering business growth and expanding their service offerings within the region.

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.
