This procurement falls within the industry category of general public services and is located in Edinburgh, UK (region UKM75). The process was managed using a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure.

The contract is a part of the Council's Temporary Accommodation & Associated Services Flexible Purchasing System and is valued at approximately £1,284,435. This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in accommodation services, especially those experienced in providing shared living spaces.

Firms with the capability to manage properties with specific requirements for shared facilities and staff presence would find this tender particularly suitable.
