Secure Training Centres
(asked on 6th June 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what criteria his Department uses to assess the suitability of a purchaser of a secure training centre.
Suppliers must pass the Selection Questionnaire which assures the MoJ that they meet certain legal requirements and financial thresholds. Suppliers who pass that stage are then assessed on the criteria set out in the tender documents, which will be relevant and proportionate to the procurement and may include such elements as service elements; operational resources; estates management; ICT and Information Assurance; Mobilisation procedures; and legal, commercial and financial issues. MoJ awards contracts to suppliers who pass the evaluation stage and who provide the most value for money (VFM).
Below is the criteria and the weightings used for evaluation of the STC provider bids in the last procurement we ran in for these, which concluded in 2016:
Ref | Level 1 | Section Weighting (%) |
1 | CUSTODIAL SERVICES – SERVICE ELEMENTS | 20% |
2 | CUSTODIAL SERVICES – OPERATIONAL RESOURCES | 10% |
3 | CUSTODIAL SERVICES – WHOLE CENTRE APPROACH | 20% |
4 | PROPERTY AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT | 5% |
5 | Information & communications technology (ICT) and information assurance (IA) | 10% |
6 | mobilisation, transition and transformation | 20% |
7 | Legal/Commercial/Financial | 15% |
