Description

Emergency Accommodation service is being procured under the Public Contracts Regulation 2015, Light Touch
Regime (LTR). Bristol City Council in collaboration with South Gloucestershire Council is seeking to let an Open
Framework for the provision of Emergency Accommodation Service for households that need housing where
the council has determined a statutory duty to accommodate. The accommodation can last for periods of 1day
to several months. These accommodations will be used for placing homeless households, most of whom will
contain children, but there will also be single people and couples without dependent children.
The Open Framework will enable both Councils to place orders for the Emergency Accommodation with
successful tenderers.
The Councils will be able to place orders directly with the suppliers on the Open Framework through spot
purchase based on the service requirement and price per household size / type. There will also be opportunities
to tender for block contracts off the Open Framework. New and unsuccessful tenderers will have the option to
apply to get on the Open Framework throughout the life of the contract.
Appointment of providers on the Emergency Accommodation Framework does not guarantee any amount of
work but offers the opportunity to providers to provide accommodation for Lot 1 - Standard Services (awards
without re-opening competition) and/or competitively tender for Lot 2 - Competed Services (awards following
mini-competitions) for block purchase.
