Notice Information

Notice Title

Financial Advisors Support for Prison Estate Transformation Programme

Notice Description

HMPPS continue to require specialist support to deliver mini competitions to operate prisons delivered under the Prison Operator Services Framework (POSF/the Framework). External financial advice from a company like this provides the SRO, CFO, AO and SoS with additional assurance on financial liabilities and risks proposed through the contract, payment mechanism and other project documentation and the wider economic uncertainty make this kind of rigour all the more important.
