Your challenges
The UK prison population is at its peak and the trend in custodial convictions is continuing upwards. The Government is committed to increasing its outsourcing of the construction and operation of detention facilities. To date the pipeline has been inconsistent with several false dawns. It is important for bidders to select the right project to bid on when it comes to market and be ready to respond with a committed support team.
Achieving your ambitions
Whether you are a procuring authority, bidding consortium, sub-contractor or funder we can clearly describe the commercial terms which sit within the project documentation to enable you to focus on the risk issues that are key to you. Procurers can be confident that the tender documentation we prepare will be acceptable to the market. We will also assist bidders to provide a coherent, commercial response to tenders and engage in reasonable and pro-active discussions with the procuring authority and its advisors.
