answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>The facilities management contracts for prisons with Carillion and Amey were signed in 2015. Where repairs are required due to wear and tear costs up to £750 are absorbed by the supplier as part of its fixed fee. Any costs over £750, or any repairs required due to vandalism are payable by the Department. The contract doesn’t contain an agreed charge for these work types due to their heterogenous nature. Instead, in accordance with the NEC3 contract, the Department pays the defined cost of the repair, i.e. the actual cost of the repair. The Department closely reviews defined costs to ensure that they are at open Market value and offer the Department value for money.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 02/02/2018 14:17:10 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
