The contract is anticipated to be used by other agencies of MoJ and other public sector bodies who may have variations in requirements. The service covers all Public Sector Prisons and is optional for use by Privately Managed Prisons.
The current solution is delivered through a hybrid of internally delivered services and a third party contract which covers production and delivery of goods to the U.K. As part of pre-procurement activity the Authority is exploring several options for how the next generation service can be delivered which, potentially, includes a managed service model.
