The New Plan for Immigration includes proposals to introduce new asylum accommodation centres to provide accommodation and support while processing the claims of asylum seekers (in accordance with part 2 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 ).

Service Outcomes

The Home Office seeks a commercial partner(s) that can support it to deliver the following service outcomes:

• Support Service Users to effectively process their asylum claim;

• Provide accommodation that is consistent with HMG’s environmental standards, and statutory / legal obligations and guidance and in line with Industry Best Practice;

• Ensure Service Users are able to be accommodated for periods up to six months.

• Provide associated support services that include but are not limited to Healthcare, Safeguarding and Education;

• Support Service Users to effectively process their asylum claim;

• Support the Home Office to process asylum claims more efficiently thereby providing assurance to Service Users.

• Deliver a swift programme of delivery to reduce capacity issues in the asylum estate.

Service Delivery and Implementation

The Home Office is considering its service delivery and implementation approach for a national portfolio of accommodation centres. The intention is for these sites to include both accommodation and support services.

The accommodation element may be delivered though the provision of:

• new build sites, utilising modular and/or modern methods of construction and/or traditional methods.

• the renovation of pre-existing infrastructure; and/or

• a combination of new build sites and pre-existing infrastructure.

Services required may include (but are not limited to):

a. Identification of prospective sites/land to locate the accommodation centres;

b. Design and construction works and services for new build;

c. Design and renovation works of existing facilities;

d. Overall management of the site;

e. Security and guarding;

f. Welfare and general care;

g. Local and National transport;

h. Provision of furniture and equipment;

i. Facilities Management and cleaning services;

j. Landscaping;

k. Catering services;

l. Provision of wraparound services that include but are not limited to Healthcare, Safeguarding and Education;

m. Provision of support to ensure effective and efficient processing of asylum claims.

The Home Office would like to encourage engagement from providers that can deliver the whole service, as well as suppliers than can deliver part of the service. This may include suppliers that can deliver land/ property and accommodation or innovative accommodation solutions. We also encourage consortiums, and hope to facilitate networking and engagement between different partners, including landlords, hoteliers and other accommodation providers to facilitate new solutions.

Key design and commercial parameters such as contract duration, the commercial model and lotting strategies will be discussed at the planned Industry Day.
