The Contracting Authority is seeking a supplier to manage its 61 hotels and guest houses and to produce an initial detailed strategy outlining the management and investment approach for the life of the contract. The contract requires an estimated 9-week mobilisation/transition, has a core term of four years with two optional 12-month extension periods (total up to six years), and an estimated total budget of £1.4m to £2m over the full six-year term. This work was previously carried out in house but is being procured because the Contracting Authority lacks sufficient resources or expertise; further scope and specification details are provided in Annex B1 – Specification.
