Yes I support @Nitin's argument.

Here, The local candidates would be "having" some other arrangement for their stay", implies that the company will make certain other arrangements fot locals.

Both are implicit because reason for first is implicit is correct but company is not planing for selecting local candidates as in statement they are providing accommodation for outside candidates.
Nitin said:   1 decade ago
Neither is implicit. It is because when said that company will provide accommodation to only outside candidate, it means that locals will have to arrange their own accommodation.
