Details

Milton Keynes City Council are currently out to tender for the provision of temporary accommodation pods as part of the Rough Sleeper Winter Accommodation Pods Pilot. The purpose of the pilot is to provide safe, secure and self-contained temporary accommodation for people experiencing rough sleeping during Winter 2026/27. The accommodation will form part of the Council's wider Rough Sleeping Programme and support the objective of ensuring individuals have access to accommodation and a route off the streets during the winter period. The Council intends to procure approximately 20 accommodation pods, together with dedicated communal facilities for residents, accommodation for staff and support workers, and any associated delivery, installation and commissioning requirements. The Council's preferred delivery date for the pods is 1 December 2026, and suppliers should make every effort to meet this requirement. Whilst this date is considered critical, the Council reserves the right to accept delivery up to 21 December 2026 at its discretion.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this sports, recreation & events opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.

  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
