It holds 1,122 prisoners. Operated by G4S, it opened in 2001 as a Category B prison for adult males. Under this procurement, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) (the Authority) is seeking a single operator to manage and maintain both the prison regime and the prison facilities at HMP Rye Hill. The Authority has procured contracts for the operation of prisons by the private sector since the early 1990s and continues to support a mixed economy of public, voluntary, and private sector involvement. The current contract for HMP Rye Hill will expire on 20 January 2028. Scope of Services The Prison Operator Services contract (also referred as “prison management” in global markets) includes: • Operational custodial services: education, rehabilitation, training, work, security and resettlement • Facilities Management (“FM”): both hard and soft FM services The contract is based on the Cabinet Office Model Services Contract and is designed to ensure safe, secure and transformative prison operations that reduce reoffending and maintain high standards. The Authority aims to ensure a safe and efficient transfer of services with minimal disruption to staff and prisoners, while modernising the prison to ensure it is fit for the future.
