Notice Title
Provision of Community Accommodation Services
Notice Description
This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points. CAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type. The light touch open framework agreement is the first in a series of light touch open framework agreements that the Authority intends to award as part of an open framework scheme established pursuant to section 49 of the PA 23. The open framework scheme will have a maximum overall term of up to 8 years. The indicative term of each light touch open framework within the open framework scheme will therefore be as follows: 1. Light touch open framework one - 2 years with an option to extend up to 1 year (i.e. up to a maximum term of 3 years); 2. Light touch open framework two - 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year up to a further 3 years (i.e. up to a maximum term of 4 years); 3. Light touch open framework three - 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year, providing the overall term of the series of light touch open framework agreements does not exceed 8 years. The Authority will re-open the light touch open framework to the market at fixed points throughout the maximum eight-year term. When the Authority re-opens the light touch open framework, it will publish a new tender notice, evaluate new applications and if applicable will re-evaluate tenders from those suppliers originally appointed to the initial light touch open framework. New applications made by Tenderers not initially appointed to the light touch open framework will be assessed on the basis of substantially the same award criteria as set out in the ITT. All lots will follow the same open framework timetable and reopening structure. There are no intended differences in the timing of availability or reopening across the lots. Each lot will, however, operate independently in relation to its scope and the call off contracts that may be awarded under it. The framework will be structured into the following lots: * Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support 24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation. * Lot 2: Accommodation and Support Community accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts. * Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support Short term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service. * Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services Delivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs. Call off contracts under each Lot may require services across England and Wales. The geographic scope and structure of each call off will be set out in the relevant call off documents and may vary by region, service type, site, cohort or other operational requirement. Each lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot. Call off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents. Procedure and conditions of participation The procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts. Conditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation. The estimated maximum value of the framework is PS2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot: * Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support - PS347,000,000 (excluding VAT * Lot 2: Accommodation and Support - PS307,000,000 (excluding VAT) * Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support - PS1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT) * Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services - PS113,000,000 (excluding VAT) The estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority's current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot. The estimated duration of the framework is from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents. Tenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers' capability and capacity to deliver the framework services. Evaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots. Tenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents. The indicative procurement timetable is as follows: * Tender notice published: 8 May 2026 * Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm * Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026 * Tender submission deadline: 15 June 2026 at 1:00pm * Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026 * Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026 * Framework commencement: late October 2026 The timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents. The procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice's sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at: https://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com Ref: ITT_10565. The sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the "Procurement Portal" or the "Portal". Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders. All communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means. Tenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted. This procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.

Options: The Authority may, in accordance with section 74 and paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 to the Procurement Act 2023, modify the Framework, including the Lot values, where a known risk identified in this notice materialises.

"title": "Provision of Community Accommodation Services",
"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points. CAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type. The light touch open framework agreement is the first in a series of light touch open framework agreements that the Authority intends to award as part of an open framework scheme established pursuant to section 49 of the PA 23. The open framework scheme will have a maximum overall term of up to 8 years. The indicative term of each light touch open framework within the open framework scheme will therefore be as follows: 1. Light touch open framework one - 2 years with an option to extend up to 1 year (i.e. up to a maximum term of 3 years); 2. Light touch open framework two - 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year up to a further 3 years (i.e. up to a maximum term of 4 years); 3. Light touch open framework three - 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year, providing the overall term of the series of light touch open framework agreements does not exceed 8 years. The Authority will re-open the light touch open framework to the market at fixed points throughout the maximum eight-year term. When the Authority re-opens the light touch open framework, it will publish a new tender notice, evaluate new applications and if applicable will re-evaluate tenders from those suppliers originally appointed to the initial light touch open framework. New applications made by Tenderers not initially appointed to the light touch open framework will be assessed on the basis of substantially the same award criteria as set out in the ITT. All lots will follow the same open framework timetable and reopening structure. There are no intended differences in the timing of availability or reopening across the lots. Each lot will, however, operate independently in relation to its scope and the call off contracts that may be awarded under it. The framework will be structured into the following lots: * Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support 24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation. * Lot 2: Accommodation and Support Community accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts. * Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support Short term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service. * Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services Delivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs. Call off contracts under each Lot may require services across England and Wales. The geographic scope and structure of each call off will be set out in the relevant call off documents and may vary by region, service type, site, cohort or other operational requirement. Each lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot. Call off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents. Procedure and conditions of participation The procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts. Conditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation. The estimated maximum value of the framework is PS2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot: * Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support - PS347,000,000 (excluding VAT * Lot 2: Accommodation and Support - PS307,000,000 (excluding VAT) * Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support - PS1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT) * Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services - PS113,000,000 (excluding VAT) The estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority's current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot. The estimated duration of the framework is from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents. Tenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers' capability and capacity to deliver the framework services. Evaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots. Tenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents. The indicative procurement timetable is as follows: * Tender notice published: 8 May 2026 * Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm * Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026 * Tender submission deadline: 15 June 2026 at 1:00pm * Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026 * Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026 * Framework commencement: late October 2026 The timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.
