Why procurement teams choose the ProcurePublic Temporary Accommodation Framework
The ProcurePublic Temporary Accommodation Framework has been set up so you can move quickly and stay fully compliant when residents need to be rehoused โ whether that's fire, flood, structural failure, cladding remediation or planned maintenance.

Quality-led selection
A 60% quality / 40% cost evaluation split ensures focus on safeguarding, service quality and social value โ not just the cheapest bed.
Flexible call-off routes
Use direct selection for speed, or mini competition where you need comparative pricing and method statements.
Zero access fee
Contracting authorities pay no access fee to use the framework.

FAQs for procurement and governance teams
Who can use the ProcurePublic Temporary Accommodation Framework?
Any UK contracting authority named in the framework notice โ including local authorities, housing associations, ALMOs, NHS trusts and other public bodies โ can call off services under the ProcurePublic Temporary Accommodation Framework.
Is there an access fee to use the framework?
No. The framework is structured so that contracting authorities do not pay an access fee to use it. You only pay for the accommodation and services you call off.
Do we still need to run our own tender?
You do not need to run a full tender for each project. You use the framework's direct award or mini-competition mechanisms, which have already been procured in line with UK public procurement rules. Your focus is on how you call off, not running a new Find a Tender process from scratch.
Can we start with a pilot or single block or scheme?
Yes. Many organisations begin with a defined block, wave or demographic group as a pilot, then scale once governance, reporting and resident feedback are in place. The framework supports both one-off projects and longer-term programmes.
How quickly can we mobilise using the framework?
Timeframes depend on our internal approvals and governance, but once a call-off is authorised we can typically move from first brief to initial placements in weeks, not months. For emergency incidents, we can support same-day or next-day placements where needed.
