Summary of the contracting process
The City of Edinburgh Council has undertaken a contract for the provision of temporary accommodation services, essential for the Ukrainian re-settlement scheme inherited from the Scottish Government. This procurement, with a completion status, involved a direct award to Apart Hotels Worldwide Ltd under the Light Touch Regime provisions due to the urgency and limited supply market.
Located in Edinburgh, this procurement falls under the services category with the contracting process moving through the award and contract stages. The procurement method employed a limited procedure, bypassing a prior publication of competition due to extreme urgency. The agreement, signed on 1 May 2025, reflects an active contract stage, valued at £7,194,150 GBP, which indicates a maximum potential spend over three years, funded by the Scottish Government.
SMEs, especially those with relevant experience in handling short-term housing solutions for displaced populations, can find potential growth avenues here.

The City of Edinburgh Council has taken on contractual responsibility for some of the Scottish Government's Welcome Accommodation, previously provided by Scottish Government via their contracted partner Corporate Travel Management. Since 2021 there has been a range of welcome accommodation across Scotland, including hotels, apartments, aparthotels and, previously, cabins onboard M/S Victoria and M/S Ambition.
Should a displaced person from Ukraine require welcome accommodation, it is, in the majority of cases, allocated via the core welcome hub in Edinburgh. When in welcome accommodation, matching discussions will take place to secure an offer of suitable longer-term accommodation. This contract is for a small number of temporary self-contained apartments for those still awaiting an offer of suitable longer-term accommodation.
It should be noted that all contract values stated within this notice are maximum indications only over the full term of the call-off, funding for which has been provided by the Scottish Government.
