Emergency Accommodation
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council has completed a direct award procurement process for "Emergency Accommodation" services under legal framework 2023/54. The procurement was urgent due to increasing risks at a service user's current placement. The council aimed to source immediate safe accommodation in Oldham by working closely with a suitable service provider.
The procurement process was classified as 'lightTouch', reflecting its emergency nature. The contract, valued at GBP 414,349.14, commenced on 24th December 2025 and concludes on 24th December 2026, falling under the health and social work services category. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in emergency accommodation and health services, highlighting the demand for quick and reliable service delivery in urgent circumstances.
Such contracts can foster business growth by demonstrating a capacity to meet critical needs and maintain essential community services. Companies equipped for rapid deployment of accommodation services, especially small to medium-sized enterprises familiar with sub-central government operations, are well-suited to compete in this realm.
The service user (SU) is currently residing in Semi- independent accommodation, arranged through children's services. However the SU requires a DOLs to be put in place to keep her safe, which cannot be done in the current placement. The risks have increased significantly in the current placement and the SU is unable to be kept safe at their current placement (due to being unable to implement a DOLs) therefore an emergency placement has had to be sourced.
The Transitions Social Worker has contacted the provider directly and they have agreed to support the SU in their supported living in Oldham. It has been agreed by all involved professionals that an emergency application to the court of protection is needed to enforce the DOLs therefore an urgent placement has been sourced with the required level of supervision available immediately at the new placement.
