During the Foot and Mouth crisis my Department rented temporary accommodation in the area affected which included a demountable structure. While the bulk of this involved renting a hotel which acted as the local operations centre, it included a marquee, provided by the hotel owners for use as a temporary working space. The cost of this was included in the overall bill for the hotel.
