## Summary

The Ministry of Justice in London has awarded a contract for the provision of Community Accommodation Services Tier 3 in the East of England. The contract value is £35,282,428 GBP, with a contract period starting on 24th June 2024 and ending on 23rd December 2029. The procurement process was carried out using an open procedure with a tender period ending on 14th September 2023. This contract aims to support prison leavers by providing transitional accommodation and floating support to help them reintegrate into society and reduce reoffending.

The contract opportunities for businesses lie in providing support services for vulnerable individuals transitioning from prison to community living in the East of England region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract. Businesses should ensure they meet the detailed specifications for each lot/region they intend to bid for. The contract offers a significant opportunity for growth and social impact by assisting ex-offenders in accessing stable accommodation and reintegrating successfully into society, contributing to wider strategic outcomes and economic growth.

## Notice

This contract award notice is in relation to the Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3). CAS3 provides an opportunity to enable prison leavers who would otherwise be homeless to escape the vicious cycle of reoffending by providing up to 84 nights transitional accommodation on release from prison, or when moving on from CAS1 (Approved Premises) and CAS2 (Home Detention Curfew or Bail Accommodation) provisions. The service includes floating support to assist with the maintenance of the transitional accommodation. CAS3 provides a pathway to settled accommodation and acts as an enabler to wider strategic outcomes by giving people on probation greater stability as they engage in treatment, fulfil their wider licence conditions, improve their opportunities for employment and help the economy grow. This contract is for the East of England Probation Region. The service provides for a contracted volume of bed spaces with the flexibility to adjust the provision volumes to optimise the capacity of the CAS3 bed spaces. The contract term is 3.5 years with the option to extend by up to 2 x 12 months.
