<p>The contract price for privately managed prisons includes the cost of providing
all staff with the required skills and experience necessary for the provision of the
services as set out in the contract. This includes, but is not limited to, administrative
staff, Prison Custody Officers (PCOs) and Operational Support Grades (OSGs). The Ministry
of Justice does not mandate staffing numbers and it is the responsibility of the Contractor
to determine and maintain the number of staff necessary to discharge the requirements
of the contract and ensure that staff are sufficiently trained to undertake their
duties.</p><p> </p><p>The performance of all providers continues to be robustly managed.
We will not hesitate to take action if and when standards fall short.</p>
