Prisoner Payphone Service

This is a concession contract between the Secretary of State for Justice (MoJ) and British Telecommunications plc (BT), dated 30 August 2022, for the provision of telephone services to prisoners in prisons operated by MoJ through its executive agency, HM Prison and Probation Service (the Extension). The Extension updates, on similar terms, an existing contract procured under the Public Contracts Regulations 1993 (the Contract). The Extension will expire on 31 May 2026, with a further optional 12-month period during which BT will provide exit assistance. This is the minimum required duration to facilitate MOJ going to market for the procurement of, and smooth transition to, a next generation service solution. Under the Extension BT will provide substantially the same services on substantially the same terms as the Contract with additional investment from BT to provide necessary service improvements as described in section II.2.4.
