the fifty fourth report from the Public Accounts Committee.</p><p>The new contracts
include over 400 substantive changes that will provide a more accessible and easy

and their host communities. These changes will include a longer mobilisation and transition
period; improved data quality and sharing with providers and a more robust contract
compliance regime to improve accommodation standards.</p>
