Description
The Authority is responsible under UK law for detaining and/or enforcing the removal of certain persons (Detained individuals).
The Authority seeks a commercial partner to provide services at Haslar Immigration Removal Centre (IRC), with an initial operating capacity of 130 going up to 600 post-completion of ongoing refurbishment and construction works. The centre will only accommodate males. Services required include: (but are not limited to):
i. Overall management of the site;
ii. Security and guarding;
iii. Welfare and general care;
iv. Local escorting and hospital bed watches;
v. Provision of furniture and equipment;
vi. Facilities Management and cleaning services;
The refurbishment and construction of the site is being delivered in two phases and the operating capacity of Phase 1 will be 130 which will increase to 600 on completion of Phase 2 construction. This contract covers the operation of the site at a capacity of 130. An option to include the additional 470 beds at a future point in time may be invoked but is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the Authority. The estimated contract value of £110m (exc VAT) in this PIN only covers Phase 1 and does not include the value of the option to increase by 470 beds to phase 2 should this be enacted.
The potential length of contract will be 6 years from service commencement, with a core term of 4 years and an option to extend for up to a further 2 years.
