## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed the procurement process for the provision of Community Accommodation Services - Tier 3, classified under social work services with accommodation. This contract includes four separate lots, tailored to the East of England, Yorkshire and the Humber, North West, and Kent, Surrey and Sussex regions, aimed at providing accommodation to individuals on probation at risk of homelessness. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contracts were signed on 9 July 2021, marking the commencement of services expected in early July. Each contract was valued significantly, with the East of England lot valued at £4,066,177 and Yorkshire and the Humber at £5,556,236, among others.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the support and accommodation sectors, particularly those with expertise in social services, housing management, and support services tailored for vulnerable individuals. Companies that possess a strong understanding of meeting legal requirements, health and safety regulations, and have established networks to provide suitable accommodations would be well-suited to engage in future provisions similar to this. The potential for long-term service contracts in community accommodation creates a viable pathway for growth and expansion in these sectors.
