CT0627-273_U Category 1 A - Private Rented Accommodation

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract under the framework of the Temporary Accommodation & Associated Services Flexible Purchasing System for the provision of Private Rented Accommodation. The contract, with a completion status, supports general public services by providing accommodation for households in Edinburgh, assessed as homeless. With a procurement method described as selective through a restricted procedure, this award falls under the services category.

The contract, valued at £3,160,170 GBP, was signed on 1st May 2025, with Phoenix Properties Edinburgh Ltd confirmed as the supplier. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the Edinburgh region, particularly those involved in property management and social services. The contract's focus on providing sustained accommodation solutions for the homeless over an average stay of eighteen months suggests potential steady revenue streams for businesses capable of managing private rented properties.

Small and medium-sized enterprises offering housing support services or seeking to expand into public sector contracts relating to social care or accommodation would find this tender particularly beneficial. The requirement for a prompt payment clause and adherence to the real Living Wage also encourages ethical business practices, appealing to socially conscious organisations.
