Framework for the Provision of Temporary Emergency Accommodation

Kirklees Council seeks suitable providers of temporary accommodation to offer flexible nightly paid bed and breakfast hotel accommodation or nightly paid self- contained / self-catering accommodation for short notice and emergency accommodation needs on an ad hoc basis under a Framework Agreement.

Self Contained Out of Borough Accommodation

We are seeking suppliers who can provide good quality short term nightly paid accommodation, predominantly for homeless service users in self-contained and self-catering accommodation - this accommodation will be outside of Kirklees Local Authority boundaries but must be within a 30-mile radius of Huddersfield Town Centre.

This accommodation will be provided until alternative temporary accommodation within the Council's dispersed temporary accommodation stock can be found, or until the service user is found suitable accommodation.

The accommodation will be provided under a license under s188 of the Housing Act 1996 which will be between the Council and the resident.

This type of accommodation will primarily be used for families with dependent children so they do not have to be placed into hotel type accommodation but may also be used for single service users where it is not appropriate for them to stay in hotel type accommodation. Additional information: The anticipated commencement date for the Framework Agreement is 5th June 2023. The anticipated expiry date for the Framework Agreement is 4th June 2025, with the option to extend for up to two (2) further twelve (12) month periods.
