HARROWENAccommodation Procurement & Supply

For businesses

Business accommodation built around the requirement.

Harrowen sources and coordinates private-sector accommodation for organisations across the UK. From project teams and extended stays to employee relocation and specialist placements, we start with the location, dates, occupancy, specification and budget.

Business accommodation requirements do not always fit neatly into a hotel booking or a standard travel platform. Assignments can last for weeks or months. Teams can change. Employees may relocate. Projects may extend. Practical requirements can vary from one placement to the next.

Harrowen starts with the requirement and sources suitable private-sector accommodation around it, giving the organisation one point of coordination rather than requiring individual employees, project teams or departments to search separately.

Harrowen does not begin with a fixed property portfolio and ask the client to fit around it. We begin with the accommodation requirement and assess suitable available supply against it.

  • Location or workplace
  • Arrival and departure dates
  • Occupancy and bedroom requirements
  • Individual, team or household requirements
  • Budget
  • Parking for cars, vans or project vehicles
  • Kitchen and laundry requirements
  • Workspace and Wi-Fi
  • Accessibility requirements
  • Weekday-only or seven-day accommodation
  • Servicing requirements
  • Extensions where suitable accommodation remains available
  • Purchase order, project or internal reference information

Not every property will provide every feature. Suitable supply is assessed against the individual requirement and availability in the relevant market.

How it works

One requirement. One sourcing route.

01

Send the requirement

Provide the location, dates, occupancy, accommodation specification, budget and any practical or operational requirements.

02

Harrowen assesses the requirement

We assess what is needed and source against suitable private-sector accommodation and our property partner network.

03

Suitable options are checked

Availability, property information and relevant requirements are assessed before suitable accommodation is proposed.

04

The accommodation is arranged

Once an option is agreed, the accommodation is coordinated and the applicable commercial details are confirmed.

05

We remain the point of coordination

Changes, extensions and further accommodation requirements can continue through Harrowen rather than requiring the organisation to restart the search.

Who we support

Built for the teams responsible for getting people accommodated.

Procurement & operations

A central route for accommodation requirements that would otherwise be handled across multiple suppliers or booking channels.

Project & site teams

Accommodation sourced around project locations, changing headcounts, shift patterns, vehicles and assignment dates.

HR & people teams

Temporary accommodation for employees relocating, joining a new location or working away from home.

Travel & mobility teams

Medium- and long-term accommodation requirements that sit outside conventional short-stay business travel.

Agencies & specialist providers

Accommodation for personnel deployed to client sites, specialist placements and temporary assignments.

Insurers & claims teams

Temporary accommodation requirements arising when a policyholder cannot remain in their usual home.

Under Harrowen's standard corporate model, the corporate client is not charged a separate sourcing or platform fee.

Accommodation pricing and any applicable commercial terms are confirmed before a booking is agreed. Where a requirement falls outside the standard model, the applicable commercial structure will be explained before the client proceeds.

Harrowen is not limited to a fixed portfolio or a small number of locations.

Requirements can be assessed across the UK, with sourcing focused on the location, dates, occupancy, accommodation specification, budget and suitable available private-sector supply.

Availability will always depend on the individual requirement and the local market.
