Rapid Accommodation Packages
Choose the level of support your site requires.
Whether you need packed units, rental, full delivery and setup, or a wider physical accommodation package with bedding and facilities support, Cocoon Relief offers a tiered, costable and reusable way to create private capacity inside suitable buildings, outdoors or on serviced temporary sites.
Some organisations may only need Cocoon units. Others may need help turning a suitable building or serviced site into usable private accommodation capacity.
Cocoon Relief can be structured in tiers, from simple unit supply through to a wider physical accommodation package including setup, bedding, toilet and shower provision, laundry, lighting, charging, cleaning and catering support through suitable partners.
Package tiers
Four tiers, one deployment pathway.
Each tier builds on the last. Tier 3 — Indoor Capacity Setup — is our preferred early commercial focus, while Cocoon units across every tier can be deployed indoors, outdoors or within serviced temporary sites, depending on the setting and support required.

Important boundary
Tier 4 covers the physical accommodation environment.
Tier 4 addresses the physical accommodation environment and essential site-support infrastructure. It does not replace the wider welfare, safeguarding, legal, medical, casework or statutory responsibilities required for people in asylum, emergency or temporary accommodation.
Reusable capacity for pressure periods
A reusable shelter asset that moves with demand.
Some accommodation pressures are short-lived. Others begin as temporary measures and continue for months. Cocoon Relief is designed for that uncertain middle ground: fast enough for urgent deployment, robust enough for repeated use, and flexible enough to move, store and redeploy as needs change.
Unlike nightly contingency spend, Cocoon remains available for future deployments. The unit cost can be spread across multiple deployments, seasons, sites and years, while rental and setup packages allow organisations to access capacity without committing to full asset purchase.
Purchase, rental or setup package
Access models.
Purchase
For organisations building a contingency stock.
Rental
For short-term, seasonal or uncertain-duration pressure.
Setup + rental
For organisations needing delivery, inflation, placement and pack-down.
Pilot deployment
For organisations wanting to test Cocoon before wider use.
Product life
The factory expectation is a 5–7 year product life. Commercial planning should be based conservatively on five years.
Costable capacity for pressure periods
A defined, reusable and costable way to create private protected capacity.
Cocoon Relief is not positioned as a replacement for established accommodation where that is available and appropriate. Its role is to provide an additional option during periods of pressure, particularly where organisations are otherwise forced into expensive, short-notice contingency arrangements.
Because the package can be specified by unit numbers, deployment period, facilities, bedding, cleaning, catering and support requirements, decision-makers can compare Cocoon-based provision against other options on a clearer basis.
The physical shelter component, not the whole welfare system
Focused on the physical accommodation environment.
Cocoon Relief focuses on the physical accommodation environment: private units, layout, setup, bedding and optional supporting infrastructure.
Wider welfare, safeguarding, casework, medical, legal and statutory support should be provided by the responsible authority, provider or specialist partners.

Tier 3 example
Indoor Capacity Setup.
A typical scenario: a suitable building (a hall, warehouse, rest centre or existing accommodation site) turned into managed private accommodation capacity, with rows of numbered Cocoons, bedding packs, planned circulation, a welfare desk and turnover guidance. The same setup approach applies to serviced outdoor sites where suitable indoor space is unavailable.
Tier 4 then layers wider site-support infrastructure on top, through partner organisations selected for the deployment context.
