As an existing professional services provider to the public sector, Deloitte’s expertise is being used to supplement in-house resource to deliver significant programmes of work, which currently includes the national response to COVID-19.

Sodexo are one of a number of facility management companies who are supporting the establishment and running of testing centres across the UK. Officials have worked with various industry providers to understand who has the footprint and ability to establish and run services in all geographical areas within short timescales.

Guidance on how contracting authorities should respond to COVID-19 was published on 18 March. Authorities are allowed to procure goods, services and works with extreme urgency in exceptional circumstances using regulation 32(2)(c) under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. We have also made it clear that authorities must continue to achieve value for money for taxpayers, use good commercial judgement and publish the details of any awards made, in line with regulations and Government transparency guidelines.

A new supplier will provide payment card services following transition from the current provider, Sodexo. Timelines are currently being finalised.

This PQ has been interpreted to mean the level of financial remedies that the Ministry of Justice has been in receipt of from Sodexo, or Sodexo subsidiaries, in relation to failure to meet contractual performance obligations since 2010.

We manage all of our privately managed prison contracts with Sodexo, or Sodexo subsidiaries, robustly and deal with any performance issues in accordance with the mechanisms of the contracts. Privately managed prison providers achieve the majority of their contractual targets; however, we will not hesitate to take action where standards fall short.

For privately managed prisons the total value of financial remedies imposed for each financial year has been provided and is included in the below table:

For CRCs the total value of financial remedies imposed for each financial year has been provided and is included in the below table:

The Home Office does not publish data on the costs of the Sodexo contract as it is considered commercially sensitive.

As we are in the process of retendering for the payment card we are unable to provide any information on future costs.

It has not proved possible to respond to the hon. Member in the time available before Prorogation.

The Home Office intend to extend the contract for three months but reserve the right to extend for a further three months if required.

I am unfortunately unable to disclose any financial information in relation to the provision of these scanners within the prison estate as it is commercially sensitive. The Ministry of Justice is currently engaged in a procurement exercise to enable future purchase of this equipment and any declaration of cost and values may prejudice the outcome of this exercise.

I am able to confirm, however, that the Ministry of Justice funded the purchase and installation of the scanners for all public sector prisons but did not contribute to the cost of purchase or install of the equipment for any of the privately-managed prisons.

The HM Inspectorate of Probation (HMIP) report into South Yorkshire Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) awarded the service a rating of ‘requires improvement’. The Ministry of Justice recognises the importance of the findings of HMIP in relation to CRCs and will work with the provider to ensure that an appropriate plan is in place to address the identified areas for improvement.

We take seriously concerns raised by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation (HMIP) and others over staffing levels. All CRC contracts require the maintenance of a sufficient level of competent and adequately trained staff. We will work with South Yorkshire CRC to ensure that the issues of shortages of qualified probation officers and the assessment and management of risk of harm to others are addressed.

We have been clear that probation services need to improve and are taking decisive action to stabilise and improve the delivery of probation services, We are investing an additional £22m a year to ensure that CRCs deliver an enhanced Through the Gate service to offenders leaving prison. This will include sustained support to find accommodation and employment on discharge.

We have also taken decisive action by ending current CRC contracts early and last year, conducted a consultation on future arrangements. The proposals include measures to ensure the probation workforce is better supported to build their careers and deliver a high-quality service to offenders, such as introducing a standard training framework for staff and a national professional register to recognise the specialism and value of probation work. We are considering the feedback received and will set out detailed plans later this year.
