Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what funding criteria are included in the terms and conditions of Compass Contracts awarded for providing accommodation to asylum seekers.

The COMPASS providers are contracted to provide Accommodation, transport and related services for asylum applicants based on a per service user basis. The contracts define the required performance standards expected of all providers and also contain prescribed performance and governance regimes.

In line with government transparency commitments details of the standards required are already in the public domain. The particular document that details the standards is titled ‘COMPASS Project Schedule 2 - Statement of Requirements’ and is available on the Contracts Finder Archive on the Data.Gov.UK Website at:https://data.gov.uk/data/contracts-finder-archive/contract/487962/
