The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to publish in full the service specifications, unit prices, and key performance indicators attached to asylum accommodation contracts that operated in 2025.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office’s asylum contracts are publicly available on Contracts Finder. Copies of the contracts, including redactions, are available at the below links.

Commercially sensitive information (including pricing details) and information related to performance management of services (including service credits) are redacted to allow the Home Office to obtain maximum value during the lifetime of its contracts.

The Home Office has no current plans to publish any further information related to its asylum contracts, other than the information already publicly available.
