The contract contains specific requirements in relation to safe accommodation and relates the performance standard to the Housing Act.<br><br>The Home Office has robust mechanisms in place to monitor standards. This includes routine inspections of G4S properties and responding to specific concerns raised about accommodation standards. Where accommodation does not meet the required standards, the Home Office can apply service credits by way of a deduction from the provider’s invoice. The amount of money recovered in this way is determined by measuring performance against a series of Key Performance Indicators set out in the contract but could be up to 15% of the provider’s monthly invoice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 25/11/2014 16:15:27 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
