The total budget for this procurement is £100 million, with a minimum contract value of £40 million. Key dates include the deadline for bids set for 6th April 2021, and the service is expected to commence on 1st February 2022, running until 30th September 2027. This project falls under the category of other community, social, and personal services, and offers opportunities across various locations, including North East, London, and South West England. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in accommodation and support services, particularly those experienced in working with offenders and delivering rehabilitation programmes. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, potentially through partnerships or consortiums that can pool resources and expertise. The Ministry of Justice is keen to collaborate with providers of all sizes within the sector, making this a valuable chance for businesses to expand their reach and impact in community support. ## Notice The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) as the contracting authority is looking to commission the provision of Community Accommodation Service Tier-2 to replace the current service named Bail Accommodation and Support Service (BASS). The service is for people released on bail and offenders released from custody who meet the necessary eligibility criteria; including but not limited to, those released on Home Detention Curfew (HDC) and Additional License Cohort (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 ensure they are safely managed within the community.
