The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress her Department has made on agreeing the Future Asylum Contracts Accommodation.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Future Asylum Contract Transformation Project (FACT) is the Project responsible for delivering the replacement Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts (AASC) and Advice, Issue, Reporting and Eligibility (AIRE) contracts to ensure continuous delivery of asylum accommodation from September 2029 onwards.

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.

Throughout 2025 the Home Office has been conducting market engagement to ensure the delivery model meets the above aims. On 14/04/26 an industry day was held with potential suppliers.
