The Ministry of Justice (the "Authority") previously issued two PINs (Prior Information Notices) to initiate market engagement activity to help inform its strategy for the future delivery of Prison Operator Services in England and Wales, beyond the expiry of the current Prison Operator Services Framework (POSF) Agreement in July 2025. (FTS PIN references: 2024/S 000-000092 & 2024/S 000-004241 and Contracts Finder PIN references: tender_366202/1297577 & tender_366202/1312237). As expressed in previous PINs, the Authority is keen to invite organisations with the capability and capacity to deliver prison operator services to express their interest in future market engagement activity. Disclaimer: Please note this PIN is for market engagement purposes only. It does not signify the commencement of any procurement process and does not constitute any commitment by the Authority. A separate notice(s) will be published at the relevant time should the Authority decide to commence any procurement(s). Lot 1: Future Market Engagement Event(s): This PIN is for the purpose of initiating further market engagement activity and inform the market of the Authority’s intention to deliver a programme of events over the coming months. No further PINs will be published as details of future events will be outlined on Jaggaer and communicated via the messaging function. Therefore, if not already registered, please register your organisation’s interest (if you do not already have an existing account) at Jaggaer, https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk and search for "PQQ_404 - Market Engagement for Prison Operator Services Framework Agreement - Generation Two" within the ‘PQQs Open to All Suppliers’ section.
