The Challenge

What the client faced

An independent hotel operator wanted to provide temporary accommodation to local authorities but had no experience of public sector commissioning. They needed support understanding requirements around safeguarding, standards compliance, nightly rate frameworks and framework admission.

Our Approach

How we supported the client

We reviewed the council's commissioning model and accommodation standards, then supported the operator to prepare the documentation required for inclusion on approved supplier lists. This included safeguarding policies, H&S compliance, insurance alignment and a clear capacity statement. We also advised on pricing structures that align with nightly rate frameworks.

The Outcome

The result

The operator was admitted to the council's approved supplier list and began receiving placements within weeks. They are now preparing for a larger pan-London framework application.
