Nottingham City Council has launched a new Open Framework for suppliers to provide emergency or temporary accommodation with support services for people experiencing homelessness.
This framework replaces the previous Lot 3 – Temporary Accommodation for Homeless Households and requires providers to deliver both accommodation and tailored support (such as housing advice, health and social care liaison, and move-on planning).
🔑 Key Details
-
Single framework (no Lots): One bid gives access to all call-off opportunities.
-
Required documents: Core Supplier Information dossier + Procurement Specific Questionnaire.
-
Submission platform: East Midlands Procurement Portal.
⚠️Please ensure your responses are complete and accurate so errors do not prohibit you from progressing through the process.
⚠️ All existing providers must reapply to deliver services from 1 April 2026. The framework will also be used to reduce reliance on Nightly Paid Emergency Accommodation, with a call-off opportunity immediately after awards.
