130: Management of residences under contract

You could also call this:

"The government can hire someone to run a residence and be in charge of it for them."

Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

The chief executive can make a contract with someone to manage a residence on behalf of the government. You need to know that this contract is called a residence management contract. The government makes these contracts to ensure residences are managed properly.

If someone other than the government wants to manage a residence, they must have a residence management contract. This contract allows them to manage the residence on behalf of the government. The government is still responsible for what happens at the residence.

When it comes to the Ombudsmen Act 1975 and the Official Information Act 1982, a contract residence is treated as part of the government department. This means that the residence must follow the same rules as the government department. The government is responsible for making sure this happens.
