Temporary Accommodation Open Framework

Milton Keynes City Council · Local authority

In brief

Milton Keynes City Council has announced plans to buy care work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £108,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 1 March 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 16 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £108,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC) is seeking to engage with the market in advance of procuring a new Temporary Accommodation (TA) solution that supports the Council’s statutory homelessness duties and wider housing objectives. The Council intends to establish an open framework agreement for the provision of temporary accommodation, which will enable a broad range of suitable providers to apply and join the framework over its lifetime. This approach is designed to ensure flexibility, encourage ongoing market participation, and maintain a diverse and responsive supply of accommodation options that meet varying needs across the borough. We are keen to hear from providers on the questions published contained within the market engagement document on our e-tendering portal In-Tend . Please respond to the questions latest by 5pm on Friday 12th June 2026 via In-Tend Correspondence section/market engagement stage. The Market Engagement document can be accessed on our e-tendering portal: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/milton-keynes/aspx/Home
