CT1061_1a - Temporary Accommodation Services

Tender description

The Council has taken on responsibility to provide Accommodation for the Ukrainian re-settlement scheme previously delivered by the Scottish Government. The procurement is for suitably sized temporary accommodation on short-term lets for adults and families. Lot 1: 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.
