### Lot Information

Lot 1

Please note this is a contract award notice and not a new opportunity. Electronic monitoring is a versatile and well-established feature of the criminal justice system in Scotland. First piloted in Scotland in 1998 and rolled-out nationally in 2002 electronic monitoring is used to monitor a number of different community disposals as well as being included as a licence condition on release from prison. The Scottish Ministers are seeking to establish a managed service contract for Electronic Monitoring to support the Criminal and Youth Justice Systems in Scotland. Electronic Monitoring, also called "tagging" allows justice personnel to quickly and easily confirm that a Monitored Person is at a specified location when they are required to be present or away from a location that they are not allowed to be present at. When a Monitored Person is placed in an electronic monitoring programme, a tamper resistant electronic device is attached to their person. The device transmits an electronic signal indicating whether the Monitored Person 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 those 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 under the Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act, (2) global positioning system monitoring technology and/or (3) alcohol monitoring technology. The service required is a complete service including responsibility for the provision of all remote monitoring service requirements including hardware, software, personnel, liaison with other agencies, including the participation in training and raising awareness of agencies and provision of statistical information, record keeping and development of systems.. Please note this is a contract award notice and not a new opportunity. 40m GBP is the estimated contract value. Given the variable nature of the contract, the overall spend may be less.

Renewal: Potential of further 2 x 12 month extensions. Retender thereafter.
