Description

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 North West 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.
