CT0627-276 Category 1 A - Private Rented Accommodation

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of Private Rented Accommodation under the contract CT0627-276. This initiative is aimed at securing self-contained accommodation within Edinburgh for single households, couples, and families with children experiencing homelessness. The procurement, which employs a selective method via a restricted procedure, falls under the 'services' category and is conducted in the region UKM75.

The contract, effective from 1st April 2024, has been awarded to Thistle Rooms Edb Ltd and maintains an active status. This endeavour is part of a larger framework focusing on temporary accommodation with access to visiting support, designed to aid individuals assessed as capable of managing independent living or those about to receive housing support services. This tender offers abundant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in accommodation services and support solutions for the homeless.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in housing or those looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts might find this project particularly beneficial given its focus and regional significance. The project’s alignment with social impact initiatives could attract businesses interested in contributing to community welfare and those with existing infrastructure to provide housing support services. Additionally, the inclusive requirement for prompt payment and adherence to the real Living Wage standard may appeal to businesses committed to fair work practices.
