## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed the procurement process for the "Bail Accommodation and Support Services (BASS) Generation 3" contract, which aims to provide essential accommodation and support services for defendants and offenders released on bail or from custody. This contract, valued at £25,276,359, was awarded on 19th July 2018, with the contract period spanning from 18th June 2018 to 17th June 2022. The services are classified under "Other community, social and personal services" and are intended for delivery across various regions in the UK, including London, the North East, and South East, through a selective procurement method involving competitive negotiation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in the provision of accommodation services and support for vulnerable individuals. Companies specialising in community and social services, accommodation, and those with experience in managing rehabilitation programmes would be well-suited to compete for future similar contracts under this framework, contributing to effective community integration and support for individuals in need.

## Notice

This is a Contract Award notice following the re-procurement where the Authority looked 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 (ALC). The Accommodation and Support Services allows both offenders and defendants to remain outside of the prison environment when they do not have an address to reside, providing them with accommodation and a range of support services (to Bailees only) to ensure they are safely managed within the community.
