Purpose

Where Bristol City Council use their own
properties for temporary accommodation (TA), we furnish the
properties
In the past 2 years the number of the council’s own
properties it uses for TA has grown significantly. The current
contract we use to furnish the properties is not overseen by the TA
team.
Mid-term we need to develop a new contract for furnishing TA
properties
In the short-term, we will run a pilot contract managed by the TA
team to furnish some of the new BCC properties coming forward to be
used for TA in 25/26
Having good quality furniture delivered consistently promptly is
key for savings the council has committed to
