Community Accommodation Service Tier 3 (CAS3) is a provision funded by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and overseen in Manchester by the Greater Manchester Probation Service and Manchester City Council, to provide short-term accommodation and support for people who are threatened with homelessness upon their release from prison or approved premises, for up to 84 days. The CAS3 provision emphasises the prevention of homelessness and the reduction in reoffending. Manchester City Council is seeking to engage with existing and potential providers of support and accommodation services to understand the market's capabilities in providing short-term support and accommodation for people who have recently left custody. It is anticipated that any future service model would adopt a trauma-informed approach, recognising the diverse experiences and support needs of people leaving custody. The proposed model is intended to provide access to accommodation alongside person-centred support to address homelessness, improve wellbeing, increase independence and support positive move-on outcomes. The proposed service is expected to operate collaboratively with statutory and voluntary sector partners, including Probation, local authorities, Greater Manchester Police and other relevant agencies, to support effective risk assessment, risk management and information sharing. At this stage, the Council is considering a model that may include separate accommodation and support elements. To inform this approach, the Council is seeking feedback from the market regarding capacity, deliverability and potential service design considerations. The accommodation element could include a minimum of 66 lettable self-contained single-sex units and/or compliant single-sex shared accommodation, available for occupation by CAS3 residents for up to 84 nights per placement. The support element could involve the provision of a floating support service delivered by a dedicated team of support workers. Such support may focus on helping individuals to secure and sustain accommodation, improve stability and resilience, access appropriate services and support successful resettlement outcomes. The information contained within this notice is for market engagement purposes only and does not constitute a commitment by Manchester City Council to undertake a procurement process or award any contract.

The provider will successfully deliver short break groups within the Tameside Borough. This service is for children and young people (CYP) aged between 5 (year 1) and 10 (year 5/6) with complex needs.

The service will be primarily for CYP who attend a specialist educational provision or resource base, who require 1:1 or 2:1 specialised support for behavioural and / or personal care needs and / or safety and / or medical needs and / or moving and handling needs This offer is also available for those children who may have physical difficulties and may require more complex personal care support. The provision should aim to promote CYP independence within the setting where possible and adopt a flexible approach to staffing, reducing individual CYP staffing ratios if safe to do so, and where agreed with commissioners and CWD Team CYP within Tameside that are eligible for this offer may present with one or more of the following diagnoses that are represented in Section 1.2. However, as new referrals are received into the service the list of presenting needs may change. Due to the threshold of the service all cases will have an associated learning need such as: • Global Development Delay • Severe Learning Need • Moderate Learning Need • Support for CYP is to be provided on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis including personal care needs. This may include: • Support with eating and drinking including regular prompts • Support ensuring CYP are clean and dry throughout the day and their care to be completed with dignity • Manage behaviours that may be challenging while keeping CYP and staff safe • Support and help with regulation and deescalation • Encouragement to participate in sessions ensuring this is meaningful • Following moving and handling plans for safe transfers between equipment and activities It is the providers responsibility to ensure staff are fully trained to support with individual presenting needs.

We expect providers to use this as a guide in addition to collecting their own information regarding the needs of a young person.
