Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Prison Operator Services - HMP Millsike" is spearheaded by the Ministry of Justice, focusing on the provision of comprehensive prison operator services. This project pertains to the establishment of a new Category C adult male resettlement prison in Full Sutton, East Yorkshire, under the industry category of prison services. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with Mitie Care & Custody named as the supplier. The contract commenced on 22nd April 2024 and will conclude on 4th June 2035, having been procured through a selective, call-off method from a framework agreement. The project is valued at £329,000,000, underscoring the significance and scale of this initiative in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for large-scale organisations in the prison services sector to engage in a long-term partnership with the Ministry of Justice. Although not suitable for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) or VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises), it is poised to foster significant business growth by allowing companies with the capacity for large operational and security structures to showcase their capabilities in managing modern rehabilitative prison environments. Businesses specialising in secure facilities management, inmate rehabilitation programmes, and institutional operations are ideally positioned to benefit and expand their expertise and market presence through participation in this project.
