PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(12 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment she has made of the (a) effectiveness and (b) value for money the privatised prison maintenance service.

Asked by:
Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour)

Answer

The value and performance of the Department’s private-sector service providers are subject to ongoing contract management, and current performance is in line with expected parameters.

As contracts approach expiry, assessments are conducted to inform decisions about future services. A 2023 assessment in partnership with the Cabinet Office determined that a privatised solution was the preferred option for future prison maintenance services. These contracts will be competitively tendered.
