- Buyer
- Milton Keynes City Council
- Value
- £115,080,000
- Closes
- 4 December 2026
- Where
- Milton Keynes, the South East
- Type
- Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)
In plain English
Milton Keynes City Council is setting up a framework agreement, a pre-approved list of suppliers it can place work with, for nightly let accommodation. The Council uses this accommodation to house homeless households, including vulnerable people, while their applications are investigated. The estimated value is £115,080,000, and the framework will be re-opened in later rounds so new suppliers can join.
What the buyer wants
• Provide nightly let temporary accommodation to households the Council places there, some of whom have mental health issues, physical disabilities or learning disabilities. • Submit a tender to join the framework by 12 noon on 4 December 2026. • Be ready for the framework to be re-opened in Year 3 of Framework 1 and Year 6 of Framework 2, when further suppliers can apply.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific minimum turnover, experience or capacity criteria, but the size of the contract (£115 million across three overlapping frameworks, with 962 households already in temporary accommodation) suggests the Council will expect suppliers able to provide a large volume of accommodation, which would likely rule out most small businesses.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
