Temporary Accommodation & Decant Managed Services
Framework Description
Temporary Accommodation & Decant Managed Services is a Procurement for Housing framework for finding and managing accommodation when residents have to leave their homes because of works or emergencies. Suppliers handle property search, booking, vetting, furniture and logistics across the UK, for both short and longer stays. It is a single-lot framework running until 23 July 2027, with no extension.
Context & Use Case
Housing providers use it when planned works such as major refurbishment make a home uninhabitable, or when a fire, flood or other emergency forces residents out at short notice. A managed service lets the landlord hand over the whole decant, from finding a suitable property to arranging furniture, rather than booking hotels or lets themselves.
Scope of Services
Property search and booking Vetting and compliance of accommodation Furniture provision Logistics coordination Temporary and longer-term stays during works or emergencies
Lots
Temporary accommodation and decant managed services
Who Can Apply
Suits accommodation and decant managed service providers, serviced accommodation operators with a managed offer, and relocation firms that coordinate furniture and logistics. Applications for this framework are closed. With its end date of 23 July 2027, the re-tender is the next way on.
Buyer Benefits
Landlords value one provider who can respond fast in an emergency and look after residents through a decant, including vulnerable households. Vetted accommodation reduces safeguarding and compliance risk, and having search, booking, furniture and logistics in one service saves housing officers' time during already stressful moves.
Next Steps
Incumbents should log response times and resident feedback now to support a re-tender bid. Providers outside it should watch the PfH Temporary Accommodation & Decant page for the successor, likely in 2027, and prepare evidence of emergency response capacity, property vetting processes, safeguarding policies and UK coverage.
