Ursprunglig beskrivning av upphandling

The Authority is seeking to establish a new contract for Prison Operator Services at HMP Rye Hill. The anticipated contract duration is 12 years from the operational services commencement date, with an option to extend by up to 3 years in 1-year increments, making the maximum term 15 years. The procurement for HMP Rye Hill will be conducted under the Competitive Flexible Procedure (Light Touch Regime) under the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority has tendered the operation of prisons to the private sector since the early 1990s and has long advocated a mixed approach to prison operation that includes public, voluntary and private sector involvement. HMP Rye Hill is a male Category C Private Finance Initiative (PFI) located in Northamptonshire, England, with a current operational maximum capacity of 1,122. An indicative timetable for the procurement is outlined below. Please note these dates may be subject to change: • Publication of Tender Notice and Procurement Documentation – 15/06/2026 • Deadline for Submission of PSQ and COP Responses – Midday 26/06/2026 • Authority issue PSQ and COP Notification Letters – 10/07/2026 • Bidder Engagement and Dialogue - 13/07/2026 to 31/08/2026 • Publication of ISFT Documentation – 07/09/2026 • Deadline for Submission of Tender Responses – 25/09/2026 • Contract Award – 05/04/2027 This notice is for information only and the Authority reserves the right to not proceed to tender. Additionally, the Authority reserves the right to discontinue the tender process at any stage and not to award the Contract. The information contained in this notice, including information relating to the nature and scope of the requirements, the estimated value, the service classification of this requirement or the list of CPV codes, is only indicative of current thinking and is neither exhaustive nor binding, and the Authority reserves the right at its absolute discretion to amend it at the time of issue or any further notices or at any other time. The publication of this notice in no way obliges the Authority to commence any competitive tender process. Any contracts are subject to the relevant legal and Cabinet Office controls and policies.

Upphandlingskvalitetspoäng

This planned procurement notice provides a clear overview of a high-value, long-term prison operator services contract, outlining key requirements and an indicative timeline. However, the absence of any detailed documentation and the highly specific PFI experience requirement present notable limitations for potential bidders.

Poängfördelning

Regelefterlevnad100/100

The notice clearly states the legal framework (Procurement Act 2023, Competitive Flexible Procedure, Light Touch Regime) and mandatory exclusion grounds, indicating adherence to regulatory requirements for a preliminary stage.

Tydlighet40/100

The description of the service, prison type, location, and contract duration is clear. The indicative timetable is also well-presented. However, the deferral of specific details to future documentation reduces overall clarity at this stage.

Fullständighet83/100

As a 'planned procurement notice,' it is inherently incomplete, lacking any attached documents, detailed specifications, specific evaluation criteria, or precise financial/technical thresholds. This limits the ability of potential bidders to fully understand the scope.

•No documents attached
•Missing evaluation criteria
Rättvisa60/100

The requirement for PFI operational experience, while relevant to the asset, significantly narrows the market, potentially limiting competition. The Competitive Flexible Procedure with bidder engagement can, however, foster a more tailored and fair dialogue with qualified entities.

•Highly specific requirement for PFI operational experience may limit competition
Praktisk genomförbarhet40/100

The indicative timetable provides a practical roadmap for bidders. The inclusion of bidder engagement and dialogue sessions is a practical approach for a complex, high-value contract under the Light Touch Regime.

Datakonsistens100/100

All information provided within the notice is consistent, particularly regarding the contract duration, estimated value, and prison characteristics.

Hållbarhet0/100

The notice does not explicitly mention any green, social, or innovation criteria, which are increasingly important for public procurement under modern frameworks like the Procurement Act 2023, especially for long-term, high-value contracts.

•Not green procurement
•No social criteria

Styrkor

Clear identification of the service, location, and prison type (HMP Rye Hill, male Cat C PFI).
Transparency regarding the procurement procedure (Competitive Flexible Procedure, Light Touch Regime, Procurement Act 2023).
Provision of an indicative timetable for key procurement stages, aiding bidder planning.
Explicit mention of bidder engagement and dialogue, promoting a more collaborative process.
Acknowledgement of a mixed approach to prison operation, indicating openness to various legal entities.

Potentiella problem

Lack of any attached documentation or detailed specifications at this 'planned procurement notice' stage.
Absence of specific evaluation criteria, financial thresholds, and detailed technical requirements, which are deferred.
The highly specific requirement for PFI operational experience in a prison context significantly narrows the potential bidder pool.
No explicit mention of sustainability (environmental, social, innovation) criteria for a long-term, high-value contract.
Broad disclaimers regarding the indicative nature of the information, while standard, highlight the preliminary status and potential for significant changes.

Rekommendationer

1. Publish preliminary market engagement documents (e.g., RFI, draft specification) to provide more substance for potential bidders.
2. Clearly outline specific evaluation criteria and detailed financial/technical thresholds as early as possible for transparency.
3. Integrate broader public value objectives, including social, environmental, and innovation criteria, into the procurement process.
