As a result, the Authority is in the process of establishing a new framework, Prison Operator Services Framework 2 (POSF2). To inform the market and generate interest, the Authority has previously conducted a series of market engagement events. To build on this, a one-week period during w/c 9th February 2026 has been identified to hold a series of events (“Mini-Series”) with interested suppliers prior to the launch of Prison Operator Services Framework 2 (POSF2) in February 2026. The Mini-Series events will focus on the core requirements of the POSF2 competition and accompanying Tender documents. The Mini-Series will consist of four sessions, delivered online only (via Microsoft Teams). Each session will be recorded. The proposed schedule and indicative timings for each Mini-Series event are as follows: Event 1 – Commercial Aspects at 2pm – 4pm on Monday 9th February 2026 via Microsoft Teams Event 2 – Framework Evaluation Questions and Data Room (Part 1) at 10am – 12pm on Tuesday 10th February 2026 via Microsoft Teams Event 3 – Framework Evaluation Questions and Data Room (Part 2) at 2pm – 4pm on Tuesday 10th February 2026 via Microsoft Teams Event 4 – Finance Aspects at 2pm – 3:30pm on Wednesday 11th February 2026 via Microsoft Teams As per the Planned Procurement Notice published by the Authority on 8th December 2025 (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080623-2025), the indicative procurement timetable for the POSF2 procurement is as follows.
