## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for the CT1061Y - Temporary Accommodation Services contract, targeting the general public services industry category. This contract aims to provide suitably sized temporary accommodation for adults at risk of homelessness in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, allowing direct negotiation without prior publication, to address an urgent and unforeseeable need. The contract, valued at £500,000, was awarded to VivreStays and signed on 14th January 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the property management and temporary accommodation sectors. Companies well-versed in providing flexible and rapid accommodation solutions, particularly those with experience in public contracts and supporting vulnerable populations, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The council's approach underscores the importance of being prepared for sudden market requirements, suggesting that businesses with agility and robust service offerings stand to benefit from such procurement opportunities.

### 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. Contract is for an option to place families in available properties, up-to a maximum value.

### 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.
