Scope
Description
The Guinness Partnership Limited, in collaboration with the managing agent ProcurePublic Limited, is inviting suppliers to apply and join a new Temporary Accommodation Framework. This framework is designed to meet the essential needs of public sector contracting authorities for temporary housing and decant services.
Selected suppliers will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive range of accommodation and decant solutions, including:
A 24/7, year-round service for vetting, sourcing, and booking accommodation.
Procurement of all necessary ancillary provisions, whether through hire or purchase.
Tenderers must demonstrate proven experience in supplying temporary accommodation to housing associations, local authorities, and comparable public sector organisations, along with the capacity to respond rapidly to emergency housing requirements.
Under this framework, suppliers may be called upon to provide a variety of temporary accommodation options and support services, such as:
Self-contained units (apartments and flats)
Serviced accommodation (house shares and guest houses)
Emergency bed-and-breakfast arrangements
Furniture hire, utilities management, and housekeeping
Welfare support, lettings, and tenancy management
We welcome all qualified suppliers to submit their proposals in accordance with the specifications outlined in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) documentation.
