"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points.\nCAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe light touch open framework agreement is the first in a series of light touch open framework agreements that the Authority intends to award as part of an open framework scheme established pursuant to section 49 of the PA 23.\nThe open framework scheme will have a maximum overall term of up to 8 years. The indicative term of each light touch open framework within the open framework scheme will therefore be as follows:\n1. Light touch open framework one – 2 years with an option to extend up to 1 year (i.e. up to a maximum term of 3 years);\n2. Light touch open framework two – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year up to a further 3 years (i.e. up to a maximum term of 4 years);\n3. Light touch open framework three – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year, providing the overall term of the series of light touch open framework agreements does not exceed 8 years.\nThe Authority will re-open the light touch open framework to the market at fixed points throughout the maximum eight-year term.\nWhen the Authority re-opens the light touch open framework, it will publish a new tender notice, evaluate new applications and if applicable will re-evaluate tenders from those suppliers originally appointed to the initial light touch open framework. New applications made by Tenderers not initially appointed to the light touch open framework will be assessed on the basis of substantially the same award criteria as set out in the ITT.\nAll lots will follow the same open framework timetable and reopening structure. There are no intended differences in the timing of availability or reopening across the lots. Each lot will, however, operate independently in relation to its scope and the call off contracts that may be awarded under it.\nThe framework will be structured into the following lots:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support\n24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support \nCommunity accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts.\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support \nShort term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services\nDelivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs.\nCall off contracts under each Lot may require services across England and Wales. The geographic scope and structure of each call off will be set out in the relevant call off documents and may vary by region, service type, site, cohort or other operational requirement.\n Each lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot.\nCall off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents.\nProcedure and conditions of participation\nThe procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts.\nConditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation.\nThe estimated maximum value of the framework is £2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support – £347,000,000 (excluding VAT\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support – £307,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support – £1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services – £113,000,000 (excluding VAT)\nThe estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority’s current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot.\nThe estimated duration of the framework is from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nTenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers’ capability and capacity to deliver the framework services.\nEvaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots.\nTenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents.\nThe indicative procurement timetable is as follows:\n• Tender notice published: 8 May 2026\n• Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026\n• Tender submission deadline: 15 June 2026 at 1:00pm\n• Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026\n• Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026\n• Framework commencement: late October 2026\nThe timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nThe procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice’s sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com\nRef: ITT_10565.\nThe sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the “Procurement Portal” or the “Portal”. Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders.\nAll communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means.\nTenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted.\nThis procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.",

"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points.\nCAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe light touch open framework agreement is the first in a series of light touch open framework agreements that the Authority intends to award as part of an open framework scheme established pursuant to section 49 of the PA 23.\nThe open framework scheme will have a maximum overall term of up to 8 years. The indicative term of each light touch open framework within the open framework scheme will therefore be as follows:\n1. Light touch open framework one – 2 years with an option to extend up to 1 year (i.e. up to a maximum term of 3 years);\n2. Light touch open framework two – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year up to a further 3 years (i.e. up to a maximum term of 4 years);\n3. Light touch open framework three – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year, providing the overall term of the series of light touch open framework agreements does not exceed 8 years.\nThe Authority will re-open the light touch open framework to the market at fixed points throughout the maximum eight-year term.\nWhen the Authority re-opens the light touch open framework, it will publish a new tender notice, evaluate new applications and if applicable will re-evaluate tenders from those suppliers originally appointed to the initial light touch open framework. New applications made by Tenderers not initially appointed to the light touch open framework will be assessed on the basis of substantially the same award criteria as set out in the ITT.\nAll lots will follow the same open framework timetable and reopening structure. There are no intended differences in the timing of availability or reopening across the lots. Each lot will, however, operate independently in relation to its scope and the call off contracts that may be awarded under it.\nThe framework will be structured into the following lots:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support\n24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support \nCommunity accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts.\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support \nShort term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services\nDelivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs.\nCall off contracts under each Lot may require services across England and Wales. The geographic scope and structure of each call off will be set out in the relevant call off documents and may vary by region, service type, site, cohort or other operational requirement.\n Each lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot.\nCall off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents.\nProcedure and conditions of participation\nThe procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts.\nConditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation.\nThe estimated maximum value of the framework is £2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support – £347,000,000 (excluding VAT\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support – £307,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support – £1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services – £113,000,000 (excluding VAT)\nThe estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority’s current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot.\nThe estimated duration of the framework is from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nTenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers’ capability and capacity to deliver the framework services.\nEvaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots.\nTenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents.\nThe indicative procurement timetable is as follows:\n• Tender notice published: 8 May 2026\n• Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026\n• Tender submission deadline: 15 June 2026 at 1:00pm\n• Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026\n• Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026\n• Framework commencement: late October 2026\nThe timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nThe procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice’s sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com\nRef: ITT_10565.\nThe sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the “Procurement Portal” or the “Portal”. Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders.\nAll communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means.\nTenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted.\nThis procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.",

"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points.\nCAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe light touch open framework agreement is the first in a series of light touch open framework agreements that the Authority intends to award as part of an open framework scheme established pursuant to section 49 of the PA 23.\nThe open framework scheme will have a maximum overall term of up to 8 years. The indicative term of each light touch open framework within the open framework scheme will therefore be as follows:\n1. Light touch open framework one – 2 years with an option to extend up to 1 year (i.e. up to a maximum term of 3 years);\n2. Light touch open framework two – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year up to a further 3 years (i.e. up to a maximum term of 4 years);\n3. Light touch open framework three – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year, providing the overall term of the series of light touch open framework agreements does not exceed 8 years.\nThe Authority will re-open the light touch open framework to the market at fixed points throughout the maximum eight-year term.\nWhen the Authority re-opens the light touch open framework, it will publish a new tender notice, evaluate new applications and if applicable will re-evaluate tenders from those suppliers originally appointed to the initial light touch open framework. New applications made by Tenderers not initially appointed to the light touch open framework will be assessed on the basis of substantially the same award criteria as set out in the ITT.\nAll lots will follow the same open framework timetable and reopening structure. There are no intended differences in the timing of availability or reopening across the lots. Each lot will, however, operate independently in relation to its scope and the call off contracts that may be awarded under it.\nThe framework will be structured into the following lots:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support\n24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support \nCommunity accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts.\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support \nShort term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services\nDelivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs.\nCall off contracts under each Lot may require services across England and Wales. The geographic scope and structure of each call off will be set out in the relevant call off documents and may vary by region, service type, site, cohort or other operational requirement.\n Each lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot.\nCall off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents.\nProcedure and conditions of participation\nThe procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts.\nConditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation.\nThe estimated maximum value of the framework is £2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support – £347,000,000 (excluding VAT\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support – £307,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support – £1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services – £113,000,000 (excluding VAT)\nThe estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority’s current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot.\nThe estimated duration of the framework is from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nTenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers’ capability and capacity to deliver the framework services.\nEvaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots.\nTenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents.\nThe indicative procurement timetable is as follows:\n• Tender notice published: 8 May 2026\n• Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026\n• Tender submission deadline: 12 June 2026 at 1:00pm\n• Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026\n• Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026\n• Framework commencement: late October 2026\nThe timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nThe procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice’s sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com\nRef: ITT_10565.\nThe sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the “Procurement Portal” or the “Portal”. Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders.\nAll communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means.\nTenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted.\nThis procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.",

"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points.\nCAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe light touch open framework agreement is the first in a series of light touch open framework agreements that the Authority intends to award as part of an open framework scheme established pursuant to section 49 of the PA 23.\nThe open framework scheme will have a maximum overall term of up to 8 years. The indicative term of each light touch open framework within the open framework scheme will therefore be as follows:\n1. Light touch open framework one – 2 years with an option to extend up to 1 year (i.e. up to a maximum term of 3 years);\n2. Light touch open framework two – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year up to a further 3 years (i.e. up to a maximum term of 4 years);\n3. Light touch open framework three – 1 year with options to extend in increments of up to 1 year, providing the overall term of the series of light touch open framework agreements does not exceed 8 years.\nThe Authority will re-open the light touch open framework to the market at fixed points throughout the maximum eight-year term.\nWhen the Authority re-opens the light touch open framework, it will publish a new tender notice, evaluate new applications and if applicable will re-evaluate tenders from those suppliers originally appointed to the initial light touch open framework. New applications made by Tenderers not initially appointed to the light touch open framework will be assessed on the basis of substantially the same award criteria as set out in the ITT.\nAll lots will follow the same open framework timetable and reopening structure. There are no intended differences in the timing of availability or reopening across the lots. Each lot will, however, operate independently in relation to its scope and the call off contracts that may be awarded under it.\nThe framework will be structured into the following lots:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support\n24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support \nCommunity accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts.\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support \nShort term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services\nDelivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs.\nCall off contracts under each Lot may require services across England and Wales. The geographic scope and structure of each call off will be set out in the relevant call off documents and may vary by region, service type, site, cohort or other operational requirement.\n Each lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot.\nCall off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents.\nProcedure and conditions of participation\nThe procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts.\nConditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation.\nThe estimated maximum value of the framework is £2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support – £347,000,000 (excluding VAT\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support – £307,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support – £1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services – £113,000,000 (excluding VAT)\nThe estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority’s current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot.\nThe estimated duration of the framework is from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nTenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers’ capability and capacity to deliver the framework services.\nEvaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots.\nTenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents.\nThe indicative procurement timetable is as follows:\n• Tender notice published: 8 May 2026\n• Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026\n• Tender submission deadline: 12 June 2026 at 1:00pm\n• Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026\n• Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026\n• Framework commencement: late October 2026\nThe timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nThe procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice’s sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com\nRef: ITT_10565.\nThe sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the “Procurement Portal” or the “Portal”. Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders.\nAll communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means.\nTenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted.\nThis procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.",

"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points.\nCAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe framework will be structured into the following lots:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support\n24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support \nCommunity accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts.\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support \nShort term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services\nDelivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs.\nEach lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot.\nCall off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents.\nProcedure and conditions of participation\nThe procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts.\nConditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation.\nThe estimated maximum value of the framework is £2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support – £347,000,000 (excluding VAT\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support – £307,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support – £1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services – £113,000,000 (excluding VAT)\nThe estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority’s current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot.\nThe estimated duration of the framework is from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nTenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers’ capability and capacity to deliver the framework services.\nEvaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots.\nTenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents.\nThe indicative procurement timetable is as follows:\n• Tender notice published: 8 May 2026\n• Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026\n• Tender submission deadline: 12 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026\n• Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026\n• Framework commencement: late October 2026\nThe timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nThe procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice’s sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com\nThe sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the “Procurement Portal” or the “Portal”. Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders.\nAll communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means.\nTenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted.\nThis procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.",

"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points.\nCAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe framework will be structured into the following lots:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support\n24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support \nCommunity accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts.\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support \nShort term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services\nDelivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs.\nEach lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot.\nCall off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents.\nProcedure and conditions of participation\nThe procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts.\nConditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation.\nThe estimated maximum value of the framework is £2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support – £347,000,000 (excluding VAT\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support – £307,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support – £1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services – £113,000,000 (excluding VAT)\nThe estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority’s current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot.\nThe estimated duration of the framework is from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nTenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers’ capability and capacity to deliver the framework services.\nEvaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots.\nTenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents.\nThe indicative procurement timetable is as follows:\n• Tender notice published: 8 May 2026\n• Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026\n• Tender submission deadline: 12 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026\n• Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026\n• Framework commencement: late October 2026\nThe timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nThe procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice’s sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com\nThe sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the “Procurement Portal” or the “Portal”. Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders.\nAll communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means.\nTenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted.\nThis procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.",

"description": "This notice invites suppliers to submit tenders for the establishment of an open framework for the provision of Community Accommodation Services (CAS). The framework will be established in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023 and will operate as an open framework, allowing suppliers to be admitted at initial establishment and at planned reopening points.\nCAS comprises the provision of temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The services support public protection, offender management and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe framework will be structured into the following lots:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support\n24 hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support \nCommunity accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts.\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support \nShort term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services\nDelivery of community accommodation and appropriate support services for individuals within the criminal justice system with alternative service needs.\nEach lot will operate independently and all suppliers that meet the Conditions of Participation and satisfy the award criteria for the relevant lot may be admitted to the framework. Admission to a lot does not confer exclusivity and does not guarantee the award of any call off contract. Suppliers admitted to a lot will be eligible to compete for call off contracts awarded under that lot.\nCall off contracts will ordinarily be awarded through competitive selection processes between suppliers appointed to the relevant lot, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority reserves the right to award a call off contract without further competition where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and where the procurement documents set out the applicable circumstances, core terms and objective mechanism for supplier selection. The rules governing framework operation, reopening arrangements, direct award and call off competition procedures will be set out in the procurement documents.\nProcedure and conditions of participation\nThe procurement will be conducted under the light touch regime using an open procedure. Conditions of participation will apply to the framework establishment stage only and will be proportionate to the subject matter of the framework. The Conditions of Participation set out in the procurement documents will provide the benchmark requirements that suppliers must meet to be admitted to the framework. Only suppliers admitted to the framework will be eligible to compete for call off contracts.\nConditions of participation will relate to supplier suitability, legal standing, financial and economic standing, and technical and professional ability. Consortia and subcontracting arrangements will be permitted, subject to the Conditions of Participation.\nThe estimated maximum value of the framework is £2,000,000,000 (excluding VAT). This represents the potential aggregate value of contracts awarded over the full duration of the framework and does not constitute a commitment to spend. The Authority has attributed the following indicative values to each Lot:\n• Lot 1: Independent Approved Premises Accommodation and Support – £347,000,000 (excluding VAT\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support – £307,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support – £1,244,000,000 (excluding VAT)\n• Lot 4: Alternative Community Accommodation with Support Services – £113,000,000 (excluding VAT)\nThe estimated values attributed to each Lot are indicative only and have been calculated by reference to the Authority’s current expectations of the pipeline of contracts and anticipated service requirements and volumes over the eight year framework term. The estimated Lot values do not represent a cap or financial ceiling on expenditure at Lot level. The financial ceiling applies to the framework in aggregate across all Lots, to allow for changes in need and demand over the framework term. Any volume information provided is for information purposes only, to assist suppliers in understanding the potential value of call off contracts that may be awarded under the framework. No guarantee is given as to the volume or value of contracts awarded under any Lot.\nThe estimated duration of the framework is from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2034. Call off contracts may extend beyond the framework expiry date where permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nTenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set out in the procurement documents for the purpose of determining admission to the open framework. Evaluation at framework establishment stage will assess suppliers’ capability and capacity to deliver the framework services.\nEvaluation will be conducted separately for each lot. Suppliers may submit tenders for one lot, more than one lot, or all lots.\nTenders must be submitted electronically in accordance with the instructions set out in the procurement documents.\nThe indicative procurement timetable is as follows:\n• Tender notice published: 8 May 2026\n• Supplier clarification deadline: 01 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Authority response to clarification questions: 5 June 2026\n• Tender submission deadline: 12 June 2026 at 11:59pm\n• Evaluation and moderation: June and July 2026\n• Notification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026\n• Framework commencement: late October 2026\nThe timetable is indicative and may be amended by the Authority in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the procurement documents.\nThe procurement documents are available electronically via the Ministry of Justice’s sourcing system, Jaggaer, accessible at:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.ukp.app.jaggaer.com\nThe sourcing system is referred to in this notice as the “Procurement Portal” or the “Portal”. Interested suppliers must be registered on the Portal in order to access the procurement documents, submit clarification questions and submit tenders.\nAll communication relating to this procurement, including clarification questions and responses, must be conducted through the Portal. The Authority will not respond to enquiries submitted by any other means.\nTenders must be submitted electronically via the Portal by the deadline stated in the procurement documents. Late submissions will not be accepted.\nThis procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable secondary legislation. Participation does not guarantee admission to the framework or the award of any call off contract. No reimbursement will be made for costs incurred by suppliers in participating in the procurement.",

"description": "This notice serves to initiate early market engagement in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023. Its purpose is to support the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) in exploring potential future procurement opportunities for Community Accommodation Services (CAS), by assessing market interest, capacity, and readiness, and informing the fair and transparent development of any subsequent procurement process.\nThe HMPPS CAS system provides a three-tier model of temporary accommodation for people on probation, prison leavers, and those on bail who require public protection measures or are at risk of homelessness. These services are designed to support public protection, promote reintegration into the community, and reduce reoffending. All three tiers serve as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk posed, but are not intended to provide settled accommodation. The service is centred on the provision of accommodation, with varying levels of support provided depending on the service type. The current configuration of the service, which remains subject to future change, is set out below:\n•\tLot 1(Approved Premises) offers accommodation and enhanced supervision for individuals released from custody, with a focus on public protection.\n•\tLot 2 provides temporary accommodation for individuals in the community, including those on bail or subject to Home Detention Curfew.\n•\tLot 3 delivers up to temporary accommodation for individuals leaving custody who are at risk of homelessness and are subject to probation supervision and includes the provision of basic floating support.\n•\tLot 4 delivers specialist accommodation and support. \nThe scope of any future requirement may include one or more service types listed, tailored to different levels of risk, need, and supervision as required. \nThe commercial approach and delivery structure for the future CAS procurement are still in development. A range of procurement routes are being explored, taking into account the new flexibilities introduced under the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force in February 2025. As part of this exploration, an Open Framework is being considered as a potential delivery model.\nThe Authority is currently gauging supplier interest and will confirm the schedule for future engagement stages via Jaggaer, the official platform for managing procurement processes. Suppliers are encouraged to register and express interest promptly to receive further updates and communications. All subsequent information relating to this market engagement will be provided through Jaggaer to ensure transparency, consistency, and equal access to all interested parties. \nThe Authority welcomes participation from suppliers of all types and sizes, including SMEs, VCSEs, and larger providers. This early engagement is designed to be inclusive and informative, without conferring any advantage or commitment at this stage.\nDisclaimer: This notice is issued solely for the purpose of preliminary market engagement in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023. It does not constitute a call for competition and should not be interpreted as a commitment to proceed with any specific procurement. All information provided is indicative and subject to change. The Authority will ensure that no supplier is given preferential treatment or access to confidential information that is not equally available to all potential bidders. The Authority reserves the right not to proceed to a formal procurement and may revise or amend any aspect of a future tender in line with service requirements, the Procurement Act 2023, and applicable government policies.",

"description": "This notice is published in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 as a Planned Procurement Notice (UK3). It provides advance notice that the Ministry of Justice intends to establish an open framework using the open procedure for the future procurement of Community Accommodation Services (CAS), ahead of the publication of a tender notice.\nCAS provides temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The service supports public protection, offender management, and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe current service configuration, which remains subject to future change, is as follows:\n• CAS1 – Approved Premises are 24hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• CAS2 – Community accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts. \n• CAS3 – Short-term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\nFramework Overview\nThe Authority intends to establish a lotted open framework in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023. The framework will provide a unified commercial route to market for CAS, while retaining flexibility to respond to operational demand and policy change. The indicative lotting structure is as follows:\n• Lot 1: IAP Accommodation and Support (CAS1)\n• Lot 2: Accommodation and Support (CAS2)\n• Lot 3: Temporary Accommodation and Floating Support (CAS3)\n• Lot 4: CAS3 – Specialist Accommodation and Support\nThe Authority may also utilise the framework to procure additional accommodation requirements, provided these fall within the scope and are aligned to operational need. \nThe framework will:\n• permit the admission of multiple suppliers to each lot;\n• reopen at planned intervals to allow new suppliers to join; and\n• provide for competition for call-off contracts through competitive selection processes.\nCall-off contracts will be awarded through competitive selection processes in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Detailed service models, delivery requirements, and performance expectations will be set out in future tender documentation.\nIndicative Timeline:\n•\tFramework ITT issued: 07 May 2026.\n•\tSupplier clarification deadline: 28 May 2026.\n•\tAuthority’s response to clarification questions by: 04 June 2026.\n•\tTender submission deadline: 11 June 2026.\n•\tEvaluation and moderation: June/July 2026.\n•\tNotification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026.\n•\tFramework commencement: late October 2026.\nPlease note: this timetable is indicative and subject to change. It has been issued to all suppliers at the same time. Any amendments will be published via an updated UK3 notice. The dates set out in the UK4 Tender Notice will take precedence.\nFurther Market Engagement\nThe Authority intends to publish a recorded launch video in the coming weeks. The video will summarise recent market engagement findings, provide an indicative pipeline of potential opportunities under the framework, and outline the proposed framework structure.\nThe recording is provided for information only and will not form part of any future procurement documentation. All requirements, scope and opportunities will be confirmed through the UK4 Tender Notice and accompanying ITT pack.\nNotice Status and Disclaimer\nThis Planned Procurement Notice is issued to provide advance market visibility only. It is not a call for competition, an invitation to tender, or a commitment to proceed with a procurement. The information contained in this notice is indicative and subject to change. The Authority reserves the right to amend, revise, or withdraw any aspect of a future procurement in line with service requirements, the Procurement Act 2023, and applicable government policy.\nMarket participation\nThe Authority anticipates that the framework will be suitable for participation by:\n• small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);\n• voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).\nConsortia and subcontracting arrangements are expected to be permitted, subject to conditions of participation.\nEngagement Process Description\nIf your organisation is interested in this activity, please register on MoJ's e-procurement portal (Jaggaer) with the below link:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html?_ncp=1725550280086.1484537-1\nPlease then search for PQQ_448 to and respond to the survey to register your interest in future market engagement.\nOnce the completed survey has been received, the Authority may be in touch via the Jaggaer portal with further information, questions or details of further engagement events. If there are any issues with completing the form, then please email: AccommodationCommercial@justice.gov.uk.",

"description": "This notice is published in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 as a Planned Procurement Notice (UK3). It provides advance notice that the Ministry of Justice intends to establish an open framework using the open procedure for the future procurement of Community Accommodation Services (CAS), ahead of the publication of a tender notice.\nCAS provides temporary accommodation and associated support for individuals leaving custody or serving sentences in the community. The service supports public protection, offender management, and resettlement outcomes, including the prevention of homelessness on release. CAS is not intended to provide settled accommodation or replace the statutory duties of local authorities. It operates as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk presented. Accommodation is the core service, with varying levels of support depending on service type.\nThe current service configuration, which remains subject to future change, is as follows:\n• CAS1 – Approved Premises are 24hour staffed community residences that provide temporary accommodation and close monitoring for high-risk prison leavers and people on probation.\n• CAS2 – Community accommodation and support for individuals leaving custody, released from court on bail, and other cohorts. \n• CAS3 – Short-term transitional accommodation for prison leavers at risk of homelessness with a basic floating support service.\nFramework Overview\nThe Authority intends to establish a lotted open framework in accordance with section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023. The framework will provide a unified commercial route to market for CAS, while retaining flexibility to respond to operational demand and policy change. The indicative lotting structure is as follows:\n• Lot 1: CAS1 – Accommodation and Support\n• Lot 2: CAS2 – Accommodation and Support\n• Lot 3: CAS3 – Accommodation and Support\nThe Authority may also utilise the framework to procure additional accommodation requirements, provided these fall within the scope and are aligned to operational need. \nThe framework will:\n• permit the admission of multiple suppliers to each lot;\n• reopen at planned intervals to allow new suppliers to join; and\n• provide for competition for call-off contracts through competitive selection processes.\nCall-off contracts will be awarded through competitive selection processes in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Detailed service models, delivery requirements, and performance expectations will be set out in future tender documentation.\nIndicative Timeline:\n•\tFramework ITT issued: 28 April 2026.\n•\tSupplier clarification deadline: 20 May 2026.\n•\tAuthority’s response to clarification questions by: 29 May 2026.\n•\tTender submission deadline: 11 June 2026.\n•\tEvaluation and moderation: June/July 2026.\n•\tNotification of outcomes and publication of contract award notice: week commencing 5 October 2026.\n•\tFramework commencement: late October 2026.\nPlease note: this timetable is indicative and subject to change. It has been issued to all suppliers at the same time. Any amendments will be published via an updated UK3 notice. The dates set out in the UK4 Tender Notice will take precedence.\nFurther Market Engagement\nThe Authority intends to publish a recorded launch video in the coming weeks. The video will summarise recent market engagement findings, provide an indicative pipeline of potential opportunities under the framework, and outline the proposed framework structure.\nThe recording is provided for information only and will not form part of any future procurement documentation. All requirements, scope and opportunities will be confirmed through the UK4 Tender Notice and accompanying ITT pack.\nNotice Status and Disclaimer\nThis Planned Procurement Notice is issued to provide advance market visibility only. It is not a call for competition, an invitation to tender, or a commitment to proceed with a procurement. The information contained in this notice is indicative and subject to change. The Authority reserves the right to amend, revise, or withdraw any aspect of a future procurement in line with service requirements, the Procurement Act 2023, and applicable government policy.\nMarket participation\nThe Authority anticipates that the framework will be suitable for participation by:\n• small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);\n• voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).\nConsortia and subcontracting arrangements are expected to be permitted, subject to conditions of participation.\nEngagement Process Description\nIf your organisation is interested in this activity, please register on MoJ's e-procurement portal (Jaggaer) with the below link:\nhttps://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html?_ncp=1725550280086.1484537-1\nPlease then search for PQQ_448 to and respond to the survey to register your interest in future market engagement.\nOnce the completed survey has been received, the Authority may be in touch via the Jaggaer portal with further information, questions or details of further engagement events. If there are any issues with completing the form, then please email: AccommodationCommercial@justice.gov.uk.",

"description": "This notice serves to initiate early market engagement in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023. Its purpose is to support the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) in exploring potential future procurement opportunities for Community Accommodation Services (CAS), by assessing market interest, capacity, and readiness, and informing the fair and transparent development of any subsequent procurement process.\nThe HMPPS CAS system provides a three-tier model of temporary accommodation for people on probation, prison leavers, and those on bail who require public protection measures or are at risk of homelessness. These services are designed to support public protection, promote reintegration into the community, and reduce reoffending. All three tiers serve as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk posed, but are not intended to provide settled accommodation. The service is centred on the provision of accommodation, with varying levels of support provided depending on the service type. The current configuration of the service, which remains subject to future change, is set out below:\n•\tCAS1 (Approved Premises) offers accommodation and enhanced supervision for individuals released from custody, with a focus on public protection.\n•\tCAS2 provides temporary accommodation for individuals in the community, including those on bail or subject to Home Detention Curfew.\n•\tCAS3 delivers up to 84 nights temporary accommodation for individuals leaving custody who are at risk of homelessness and are subject to probation supervision and includes the provision of basic floating support.\nThe scope of any future requirement may include one or more service types listed, tailored to different levels of risk, need, and supervision as required. \nThe commercial approach and delivery structure for the future CAS procurement are still in development. A range of procurement routes are being explored, taking into account the new flexibilities introduced under the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force in February 2025. As part of this exploration, an Open Framework is being considered as a potential delivery model.\nThe Authority is currently gauging supplier interest and will confirm the schedule for future engagement stages via Jaggaer, the official platform for managing procurement processes. Suppliers are encouraged to register and express interest promptly to receive further updates and communications. All subsequent information relating to this market engagement will be provided through Jaggaer to ensure transparency, consistency, and equal access to all interested parties. \nThe Authority welcomes participation from suppliers of all types and sizes, including SMEs, VCSEs, and larger providers. This early engagement is designed to be inclusive and informative, without conferring any advantage or commitment at this stage.\nDisclaimer: This notice is issued solely for the purpose of preliminary market engagement in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023. It does not constitute a call for competition and should not be interpreted as a commitment to proceed with any specific procurement. All information provided is indicative and subject to change. The Authority will ensure that no supplier is given preferential treatment or access to confidential information that is not equally available to all potential bidders. The Authority reserves the right not to proceed to a formal procurement and may revise or amend any aspect of a future tender in line with service requirements, the Procurement Act 2023, and applicable government policies.",

"description": "This notice serves to initiate early market engagement in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023. Its purpose is to support the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) in exploring potential future procurement opportunities for Community Accommodation Services (CAS), by assessing market interest, capacity, and readiness, and informing the fair and transparent development of any subsequent procurement process.\nThe HMPPS CAS system provides a three-tier model of temporary accommodation for people on probation, prison leavers, and those on bail who require public protection measures or are at risk of homelessness. These services are designed to support public protection, promote reintegration into the community, and reduce reoffending. All three tiers serve as a bridge back into the community, proportionate to the level of risk posed, but are not intended to provide settled accommodation. The service is centred on the provision of accommodation, with varying levels of support provided depending on the service type. The current configuration of the service, which remains subject to future change, is set out below:\n•\tCAS1 (Approved Premises) offers accommodation and enhanced supervision for individuals released from custody, with a focus on public protection.\n•\tCAS2 provides temporary accommodation for individuals in the community, including those on bail or subject to Home Detention Curfew.\n•\tCAS3 delivers up to 84 nights temporary accommodation for individuals leaving custody who are at risk of homelessness and are subject to probation supervision and includes the provision of basic floating support.\nThe scope of any future requirement may include one or more service types listed, tailored to different levels of risk, need, and supervision as required. \nThe commercial approach and delivery structure for the future CAS procurement are still in development. A range of procurement routes are being explored, taking into account the new flexibilities introduced under the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force in February 2025. As part of this exploration, an Open Framework is being considered as a potential delivery model.\nThe Authority is currently gauging supplier interest and will confirm the schedule for future engagement stages via Jaggaer, the official platform for managing procurement processes. Suppliers are encouraged to register and express interest promptly to receive further updates and communications. All subsequent information relating to this market engagement will be provided through Jaggaer to ensure transparency, consistency, and equal access to all interested parties. \nThe Authority welcomes participation from suppliers of all types and sizes, including SMEs, VCSEs, and larger providers. This early engagement is designed to be inclusive and informative, without conferring any advantage or commitment at this stage.\nDisclaimer: This notice is issued solely for the purpose of preliminary market engagement in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023. It does not constitute a call for competition and should not be interpreted as a commitment to proceed with any specific procurement. All information provided is indicative and subject to change. The Authority will ensure that no supplier is given preferential treatment or access to confidential information that is not equally available to all potential bidders. The Authority reserves the right not to proceed to a formal procurement and may revise or amend any aspect of a future tender in line with service requirements, the Procurement Act 2023, and applicable government policies.",

"description": "The contracting authority, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), is issuing this pipeline notice to provide early visibility of prospective commercial activity relating to the delivery of Community Accommodation Services (CAS) across England and Wales. The HMPPS CAS system offers a three-tier structure of temporary accommodation for people on probation, prison leavers, and those on bail who require public protection measures or are at risk of being homeless. \nThe scope of any future requirement may include one or more service types within the broader CAS landscape, aligned to varying levels of risk, need, and supervision. These services are intended to contribute to public protection, support community reintegration, and help reduce reoffending. All three tiers provide a bridge back into the community, appropriate to the risk of harm presented, but do not offer settled accommodation.\nThe commercial tool and structure remains under development and procurement routes are being explored aligned with the new options and flexibilities introduced by the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force in February 2025. The Authority is currently exploring the potential use of a Framework as one possible commercial route. However, no final decision has been made, and further details, including the procurement structure, will be confirmed at the tender stage.\nThe anticipated total value of the framework over its full term is estimated to be between £1.5 billion and £2 billion (ex VAT). Delivery may take place across multiple regions of the United Kingdom. Specific locations and regional coverage will be confirmed at the tender stage.\nThis pipeline notice does not constitute a call for competition and should not be interpreted as a commitment to undertake any specific procurement.
