What is being bought

Published requirement description

Expression of Interest for Temporary Accommodation, The Council requires provision of hotel rooms, or similar short stay accommodation, within the Cherwell district for use as temporary accommodation for homeless households.

These bookings are required to be made and delivered at short notice, on the day of contact, and are also to be made outside of office hours or at weekends. The Council is able to either make bookings on a nightly basis for a period of a few weeks or is able to make a block booking of rooms.

The Council is looking for the ability to book up to or in excess of 40 rooms. We understand that some establishments may not be able to provide this all in once place or could provide a lower number. We would welcome the opportunity to consider more than one supplier to fulfil our requirements.

Proprietors/establishments will be expected to manage the hotel themselves. However, there will be a single point of contact offered at the Council for the management of the contract and bookings.

There is no expectation for any additional services to be provided, such as food or laundry. The rooms are offered and paid for as room only.
