Locks are an integral component of any prison or secure accommodation. Business, procedural, and operational processes across the Justice system are heavily dependent on the flexible delivery and implementation of locking services across the estate.
We are looking to procure locking services predominantly for HMPPS and HMCTS that will provide resilience and mission-critical services in accordance with the provisions in the contract. There is also a chance that future use of the services may extend to MOJ’s Overseas Territories and secure hospitals in England and Wales.
We are looking to provide modern locking services in line with the complex market shifts and market offerings, to include the requirement to evolve with Ministry of Justice (MoJ) as an organisation, scaling up and down according to business need over time.
