Community Accommodation Services - Tier 3: Prior Information Notice
The MoJ wish to conduct early engagement with the market to further shape its requirements and assess the viability of the market delivering the provision of Community Accommodation Services - Tier 3 ("CAS-3").
This is a call to the market ahead of an upcoming competition with no commitment to tender at this time.
The CAS-3 project is intended to provide accommodation to Service Users ("SU") at risk of being homeless upon being released from prison or as part of their resettlement and moved-on from an Approved Premises (CAS-1), or period at a Bail Accommodation and Support Service (BASS) residence (CAS-2).
The provision of accommodation for an individual SU is intended to be up to 84 days, providing provision from the first night of release.
It is intended that the Supplier(s) will work with the SUs Community Offender Manager ("COM") to provide individualised low-level support to each SU to support them in maintaining the accommodation as well as helping the SU move-on into settled accommodation.
The Probation regions in scope for CAS-3 are: East of England, Yorkshire and the Humber, North West, Greater Manchester, Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
Funding has been allocated to support enrolment up to 31 March 2022, meaning that an individual could be accommodated up to 23 June 2022.
Provision extending beyond this will be dependent on further funding agreements.
This call to the market is to: i) understand the capacity and appetite of the market to deliver the various elements of this service, ii) understand regional disparities which may affect the delivery of the service, and iii) receive feedback about any key operational considerations.
The MoJ will hold an online event going into further detail on the requirement on 11 February 2021.
To register for this event, please email: CommunityRASS@justice.gov.uk.
Suppliers will also be requested to complete a questionnaire.
