This procurement, titled "CT0627 - Temporary Accommodation & Associated Services Flexible Purchasing System (re-opening 2025)", falls under the industry category of general public services and is specifically targeted at increasing Edinburgh’s capacity for temporary accommodation. The procurement stage is currently active with the tender process ongoing, and interested suppliers should liaise with the Council by March 31, 2026.

This initiative encompasses regions like Edinburgh (UKM75) and is conducted through an award procedure without prior publication, emphasising both cost-efficiency and quality, with values estimated around GBP 430 million. This tender offers dynamic growth opportunities for businesses in the housing and accommodation sector, especially those specialising in private rented accommodations, home shares, and shared housing.
