Delivery addresses for the services span various regions across the United Kingdom, including London, the North West, and the South East, among others.

This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that provide accommodation and support services, particularly those specialising in social care and community support.

Companies that can demonstrate experience in managing similar programmes or services will find this tender particularly relevant as it requires a nuanced understanding of compliance and support within the justice framework. ## Notice The Authority is looking to commission the provision of Accommodation and Support Services for defendants released on bail and offenders released from custody who meet the necessary eligibility criteria; including those released on Home Detention Curfew (HDC), Intensive Custody Orders (ICO) and Additional License Conditions (ALCs).
