This initiative falls under the category of Other community, social and personal services and aims to expand Approved Premises to provide secure accommodation for high-risk offenders. The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 22nd November 2021. The project is valued at £3,000,000 and will be located in London, UK. This open procedure tender involves the development of rehabilitative services that meet the needs of complex offenders following their release from prison, with a contract period scheduled to begin on 21st December 2021 and run until 31st March 2027. This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in providing rehabilitative and public protection services. Companies with expertise in secure accommodation, resettlement planning, and support services for offenders will find this procurement particularly relevant.

APs and IAP's are a critical part of HMPPS' commitment to ensure public protection by providing secure accommodation in the community and it meets the agency's commitment to reduce reoffending by supporting residents with resettlement planning in the community, including securing employment. The aim is to better meet demand for bed spaces to support the management of men and women presenting high risk and complex needs who reside in these facilities. This programme was initiated in response to the ministerial commitment made on 24th January 2019 "by building over 200 additional places in approved premises of which half will be delivered next year". As part of this national expansion programme we looking to commission new IAPs. Currently we are looking for a provider/s with the capability of delivering services set out in PI 2014 - 32 Approved Premises. In order to deliver this MoJ is seeking tenders from parties capable of delivering rehabilitative and public protection services that include residential provision for the most high risk and complex offenders in a community setting following release from prison.
