This tender falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services and is located in Manchester, within the UKD33 region of the United Kingdom.
The deadline for submissions is set for 12th December 2025, with initial service commencement on 1st July 2026 and completion by the end of 2027. Providers interested in this opportunity should submit their proposals to the specified Council contacts to demonstrate their capacity to deliver the outlined services. This tender presents potential business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) operating within the accommodation and support service sectors.
The procurement seeks experienced providers capable of managing accommodation facilities and delivering person-centred, trauma-informed support services. Ideal candidates include those with a track record of collaboration with statutory agencies and a robust approach to ICT and cybersecurity. With substantial scope for providers to implement innovative fixed-term pricing models and detailed cost breakdowns, this tender encourages those with comprehensive capabilities in accommodation maintenance, support work, and risk management to participate actively.
Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3) is a provision funded by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and overseen in Greater Manchester by the Greater Manchester Probation Service and Manchester City Council, to provide short-term accommodation and support for people who are threatened with homelessness upon their release from prison or approved premises, for up to 84 days. The CAS3 provision emphasises the prevention of homelessness and the reduction in reoffending. Manchester City Council is seeking to engage with existing and potential providers of support and accommodation services to understand the market's capabilities in providing short-term support and accommodation for people who have recently left custody.
