Serco wins electronic monitoring contract with value of £200m

 

8 November 2023

 

Serco brings together the right people, the right technology and the right
partners to create innovative solutions that make a positive impact and
address some of the most urgent and complex challenges facing governments.

 

The justice sector is a core area of expertise for our business, and we are
pleased the UK Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has selected Serco, following a
competitive process, to deliver electronic monitoring services in England and
Wales.  The contract starts in May 2024 and has an estimated value of around
£200m over the initial six-year term, and £275m if options to extend the
contract for a further two one-year terms are exercised.  The mobilisation
and transformation of the new contract will begin in November 2023 with most
of these costs being charged to profit as they are incurred.

 

Serco will introduce a new data-led, technology-based approach and will be
responsible for delivering field services, contact centre and administrative
monitoring services in the installation and removal of electronic monitoring
devices.  This will include being the service integrator for the electronic
monitoring devices and supporting technology, which will be delivered by a
separate provider.

 

To deliver these services, Serco will make use of our existing knowledge and
capabilities supporting the MOJ as well as experience serving other
governments and the broader justice sector.  The new contract will see an
extension of Serco support for the MOJ's efforts to reduce reoffending,
through an expansion of the use of electronic monitoring enabled by
high-quality data capture.

 

Mark Irwin, Serco Group Chief Executive said: "We are pleased the Ministry of
Justice has selected Serco to deliver these critical and important operations
across England and Wales.  Our innovative data and technology-led approach
will be focussed on supporting the MOJ to make a measurable impact to reduce
reoffending, support rehabilitation and keep communities safe."

 

Serco - Impact a better future.
