The performance of Amey is measured by the Department through a suite of key performance indicators and other management information. These employ a mix of both quantitative and qualitative measures to monitor Amey’s performance in delivering prison maintenance services. If the contractual performance indicators fall below the minimum acceptable level we will apply financial deductions.

The contracts contain further clauses that enable alternative methods to improve or control contract performance. For example, the step-in clause enables Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation service to take over performance of a service from the supplier under certain circumstances and recover the costs.

Private prisons achieve the vast majority of their performance targets, and are an important part of our reform plans. We continue to closely monitor the performance of all private prisons, and will take further action if and when required.
