</p><p>Monthly invoices are submitted for each contract and are verified by the Department
in accordance with their respective payment terms.</p><p> </p><p>We continually monitor
each privately managed prison and a full-time on-site Controller is employed by HM
Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). The Controller has regular review meetings with
the contractor against a range of performance indicators. The Controllers undertake
a number of compliance checks to ensure that the Contractors are discharging their
contractual obligations.</p><p> </p><p>This Government remains committed to a role
for the private sector in operating custodial services. The sector has an important
role to play, and currently runs some high-performing prisons, as part of a decent
and secure prison estate.</p><p> </p><p>A balanced approach to custodial services
provision, which includes a mix of public, voluntary and private sector involvement
has been shown to introduce improvements and deliver value for money for taxpayers.</p>
