Accepted
Establish clear process for routinely assuring KPI data and applying service credits across all accommodation.
Recommendation
The Home Office should establish a clear process for routinely assuring KPI data submitted by asylum accommodation providers and applying service credits where providers fail to meet the terms of the contract. There should be a clear and transparent framework for decisions about when service credits are applied in full, in part, or waived. Service credits for performance failures should be applied across all types of accommodation. The Home Office should ensure that the inspection and assurance regime is proportionate to the value of the contracts. (Recommendation, Paragraph 54)
