APs and IAP's are a critical part of HMPPS' commitment to ensure public protection by providing secure accommodation in the community and it meets the agency's commitment to reduce reoffending by supporting residents with resettlement planning in the community, including securing employment. The aim is to better meet demand for bed spaces to support the management of men and women presenting high risk and complex needs who reside in these facilities. This programme was initiated in response to the ministerial commitment made on 24th January 2019 "by building over 200 additional places in approved premises of which half will be delivered next year". As part of this national expansion programme we looking to commission new IAPs. Currently we are looking for a provider/s with the capability of delivering services set out in PI 2014 - 32 Approved Premises. In order to deliver this MoJ is seeking tenders from parties capable of delivering rehabilitative and public protection services that include residential provision for the most high risk and complex offenders in a community setting following release from prison.
