The market engagement process includes potential bidder site visits at HMP Dovegate, with the Authority aiming to launch the Competition in late October 2024. The engagement end date for this tender is set for 31st October 2024, and the first site visit for interested organisations is scheduled for 2nd and 3rd July 2024 in the West Midlands region, United Kingdom. This tender provides an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs interested in justice services to engage with the Ministry of Justice for potential contract opportunities related to the detention or rehabilitation of criminals, imprisonment services, prison services, public security, law and order services, public security services, and guard services. Businesses looking to provide services in the West Midlands region and demonstrate expertise in the justice sector are well-suited to compete for this upcoming tender opportunity. ## Notice Following on from the first Prior Information Notice (PIN) published on 3rd May 2024 (Find a Tender Notice reference: 2024/S 000-014324, Contracts Finder reference: tender_435819/1351905), this second PIN is for the purpose of informing the market of the dates of potential bidder site visits at HMP Dovegate. Dependent on timings for governance approvals, the Authority intends to launch the Competition for HMP Dovegate in late October 2024. The Authority is pleased to confirm that it will be facilitating the first site visit to HMP Dovegate for organisations with an interest in this procurement opportunity on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd July 2024. The purpose of this site visit will be for potential bidders to familiarise themselves with the prison. Dependent on interest the site visit may be split into morning and afternoon sessions. Due to restrictions on group size for site visits, the Authority has limited the number of attendees from each organisation to a maximum of two. We would, therefore, be grateful if you could provide the names of your two attendees and whether there is a session which they cannot attend by no later than 5pm on Friday 21st June 2024. The Authority will then confirm which session you are invited to attend. For the avoidance of doubt, you are only invited to attend one of the sessions and not both.
