Tender description
Bedford Borough Council has a statutory duty to provide accommodation to households who are homeless or threatened with homelessness under Part VII of the Housing Act 1996. To ensure continued compliance with this duty, the Council intends to establish an open framework agreement for the supply of temporary accommodation on a nightly let basis. The framework will enable the Council to secure access to properties from a range of landlords and providers, including the ability to arrange block bookings of smaller self-contained units (such as one-bedroom flats). This will support the Council in maintaining a compliant and competitive route to market for temporary accommodation placements.

About the buyer
Bedford Borough Council is a local authority serving the borough of Bedford, with procurement split between individual service departments and a central Commercial Hub team.

Every opportunity is advertised through In-Tend, the council's e-tendering portal, where supplier registration is free. Higher-value contracts also appear on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. The Commercial Hub team manages a number of corporate contracts and looks for savings across departments. That same portal doubles as a contract register, tracking expiry dates and scheduled reviews for live agreements.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Bedford Borough Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, business services and construction work.
