Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured a single managed operator service for Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. The requirement covers operational and management services, maintenance and related works, with a broad service package including security and guarding, accommodation and housekeeping, cleaning, catering and canteen operations, specialist passenger transport, facilities management, landscaping, education and training, recreation, cultural and sporting activities, and religious services. The service is categorised as a public-sector services contract and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a multi-disciplinary, site-based operating requirement rather than a standalone security, cleaning, catering or facilities-management contract, so relevant businesses are those able to contribute to, integrate with or support a comprehensive immigration-removal-centre operation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 July 2026 under an open procedure. CIRRA – Clearsprings (Management) Limited & IRARA Secure Solutions Ltd was selected from four valid final-stage bids. The award is £63,968,042 excluding VAT and £76,761,650 including VAT. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030, with an option to extend by up to two years to 31 August 2032. The authority may also add 470 beds at its discretion. The original estimated value was £110 million excluding VAT and £132 million including VAT. Quality carried 65% of the evaluation and price 35%. The tender had one lot; bids closed on 17 October 2025, enquiries closed on 25 September 2025, and the award decision period ended on 9 November 2026.

This requirement demonstrates demand for large-scale, integrated operating services in an immigration removal centre. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible capability across secure site operations, resident-facing services, facilities and estate management, cleaning, catering, transport, education, welfare-related activities, recreation and religious provision. The four valid bids and the selection of a large joint operator indicate that the buyer expects substantial organisational capacity, operational resilience and the ability to coordinate multiple specialist functions under one managed service. Businesses with experience in custodial, detention, immigration, secure accommodation or similarly complex public-service environments would be well placed. Specialist subcontractors may also find a route into future delivery through an experienced prime contractor, particularly in security, catering, transport, maintenance, cleaning, training or other support services.
