Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much his Department has received from (a) G4S, (b) MTCnovo and (c) Serco for all contracts since 2010.
The Ministry of Justice holds a number of centrally and locally managed contracts with these providers and information on the total income could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
However, the income received from contracts held by the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) for the period 1 April 2010 to 31 January 2016 was:
Period 1st Apr 2010 – 31st Jan 2016 | |
Customer | Amount |
Serco | 6,901,771.23 |
G4S | 9,744,706.59 |
MTCNovo | 0 |
Total invoiced | 16,646,477.82 |
These figures cover a variety of services that G4S and Serco have purchased from NOMS including: dog team training, grounds maintenance, learning and development, staff secondments, healthcare escorts, bed watches and prison industries.
These figures only cover invoices raised by accounts receivable (i.e. the figures exclude credit notes and deductions from normal monthly invoicing).
In addition to these invoiced values, in 2014 SERCO and G4S made rebates totalling £70.5m plus VAT and £108.9m plus VAT respectively, for overcharging on the Electronic Monitoring Contract, and for G4S a Facilities Management Contract in HMCTS.
