Asylum: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in which locations her Department plans to provide new asylum accommodation under the Asylum Support Accommodation Programme.
Answered by Alex Norris
Under the Asylum Support and Accommodation Programme (ASAP) now known as Future Asylum Contract Transformation (FACT) Project, a Delivery Model Assessment was undertaken looking at the current contractual landscape for Asylum Support. This includes the current Advice, Issue, Reporting and Eligibility (AIRE) service due to the integration of these services alongside other core Asylum Business requirements.
As with all Public Sector contracts, re-procurement is required to replace any expiring contracts to ensure value for money solutions to support delivery of future Asylum initiatives.
The outline business case is currently being prepared for submission for internal approval towards the end of 2025.
It is not currently thought that locations will change from current dispersal plans, however, this will be considered in more detail as the programme progresses.
