answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2015 answer text <p>Just Solutions international (JSi) was established in the previous parliament as the internal commercial brand of the National Offender Management Service (NOMS).</p><p> </p><p>Given our ambitious justice reform programme and the need to focus departmental resources on domestic priorities, the Justice Secretary has decided that JSi should cease to operate. NOMS will therefore not pursue any new projects with international partners through JSi.</p><p> </p><p>One project led by NOMS through JSi is sufficiently far advanced that the Government has decided withdrawing at this late stage would be detrimental to HMG’s wider interests. Under the JSi brand, NOMS submitted an initial bid to the Saudi Arabian authorities in August 2014<strong><ins class="ministerial">, and a final bid in April 2015,</ins></strong> to conduct a training needs analysis for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia prison service staff, via ELM, an executive agency of the Saudi Ministry of Finance. <del class="ministerial">Following the submission of a final bid in April 2015, NOMS is now liable for financial penalties should the bid be withdrawn.</del> NOMS’s bid was signed off through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Overseas Security and Justice Assistance (OSJA) process, and was supported by UKTI and the British Embassy in Riyadh.</p><p> </p><p>NOMS will therefore honour this outstanding bid and enter into a contract subject to the final decisions of ELM. All work relating to this project will be completed within 6 months of starting.</p><p> </p><p>My Department will continue to promote the rule of law, good governance and judicial reform internationally, working with FCO, DFID and other Government Departments as required. In future, any support will be provided on a cost recovery rather than a commercial basis.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 09/09/2015 16:58:56 question first ministerially corrected 16/09/2015 14:38:57 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous previous answer version 20239 answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
