Provision of Tier 3 Community Accommodation Services: 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”). 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.
