Interserve Secures Place On £4bn Framework

Interserve has been named as one of six providers on a new £4 billion prison framework.

The Ministry of Justice announced those accepted onto the Prison Operator Services Framework, which is part of the government's flagship programme to deliver up to 10,000 new, modern, and decent prison places.

Interserve will utilise its experience in the justice sector, running five Community Rehabilitation Companies and an employment centre at HMP Berwyn, to deliver work on the framework.

This framework will allow the contractor to enter into mini-competitions for the provision of operational custodial services and facilities management services at the new prisons at Wellingborough and Glen Parva and potentially existing privately-operated prisons that are approaching the end of their contracts.

Ian Mulholland, Interserve Managing Director, Public Sector, said: "We are committed to the justice sector and are therefore delighted to be accepted onto the Prison Operator Services Framework because this will enable us to grow our business in a key strategic area for the Company.

"We have gained considerable experience delivering services in prisons because of the Through the Gate service we deliver as part of our CRC contracts. We believe our innovative approach to delivering rehabilitative services marks us out from our competitors and makes us the ideal choice for further expansion in this market."
