    Brief

    Manchester City Council is conducting a market engagement exercise for Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3), a Ministry of Justice-funded service designed to prevent homelessness and reduce reoffending. The service provides short-term accommodation and support (up to 84 days) for people at risk of homelessness upon release from prison or approved premises. The Council is seeking feedback from existing and potential providers to understand market capacity and capabilities. The proposed service model would feature: (1) Accommodation element: minimum 66 self-contained single-sex units and/or compliant shared accommodation available for up to 84 nights per placement; (2) Support element: floating support services provided by dedicated support workers to help individuals secure and sustain accommodation, improve stability and resilience, access services, and achieve successful resettlement. The service will adopt a trauma-informed, person-centred approach and operate collaboratively with statutory and voluntary sector partners including Probation, local authorities, and Greater Manchester Police. This is a market engagement exercise only and does not constitute a commitment to procurement or contract award.
