## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is planning a Market Engagement for HMP Doncaster Operator Competition, with anticipated launch in January 2025. The purpose is to inform interested bidders about potential bidder site visits at HMP Doncaster, scheduled for July 9th and 12th, 2024. The process aims to familiarise bidders with the prison facilities, with restrictions allowing a maximum of two attendees per organisation. Interested parties must confirm attendee names by June 28th, 2024, to receive an invitation to a specific site visit session.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the services procurement category, particularly those offering prison services, justice services, and public security services. Companies well-suited to compete are those that can provide services related to detention, rehabilitation, and public security. The contracting authority, Ministry of Justice, based in London, is seeking potential bidders to familiarise themselves with HMP Doncaster facilities to participate in the upcoming competition.

## 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 third PIN is for the purpose of informing the market of the dates of potential bidder site visits at HMP Doncaster. Dependent on timings for governance approvals, the Authority intends to launch the Competition for HMP Doncaster in January 2025. The Authority is pleased to confirm that it will be facilitating the first site visits to HMP Doncaster for organisations with an interest in this procurement opportunity on Tuesday 9th and Friday 12th 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 28th 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. No further market engagement PINs will be published as details of future events will be outlined on Jaggaer and communicated via the messaging function. If you are yet to register your interest, please register for an account (if you do not already have an existing account) at Jaggaer, https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk/ and search for 'PQQ 428' within the 'PQQs Open to All Suppliers' section. Once you have located 'PQQ_428', please confirm your interest by selecting 'Express Interest'. Once you have expressed an interest, please send the Authority a message via Jaggaer with the below information: * Names of two attendees from your organisation * Dates/times which are not suitable Following receipt of this information, the Authority will respond via Jaggaer message with your organisation's allocated site visit date/time slot. Disclaimer: Please note this PIN is for market engagement purposes only. It does not signify the commencement of any procurement process and does not constitute any commitment by the Authority. A separate notice(s) will be published at the relevant time should the Authority decide to commence any procurement(s).
