This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in electronic monitoring technology, including those involved in the installation, maintenance, and monitoring of such systems.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Ministers are seeking to establish a managed service contract for Electronic Monitoring of Offenders to support the criminal and Youth Justice Systems in Scotland. Electronic Monitoring, also called "tagging" allows justice personnel to quickly and easily confirm that an offender is at a specified location when he or she is required to be present or away from a location they are not allowed to be present at. When an offender is placed in an electronic monitoring programme, a tamper resistant electronic device is attached to his or her wrist or ankle. The device transmits an electronic signal indicating whether the offender has had any unauthorised absences, attendance at restricted locations or has tampered with the device. The service provider will be responsible for the installation, maintenance and removal of all necessary equipment and for the monitoring of offenders placed in an electronic monitoring programme, which may cover: (1) radio frequency technology, which has been used in Scotland for a number of years, and subject to the passing of the Management of Offenders (Scotland) Bill, (2) global positioning system monitoring technology and/or (3) alcohol monitoring technology. Link to Management of Offenders (Scotland) Bill - http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/Bills/107731.aspx. We intend to hold a Meet the Buyer day for interested parties in September/ October 2018. All of those who note an interest via this PIN notice will be invited to attend the event.
