To ask the Scottish Executive, in relation to the Scottish Prison Service estates review, whether it is satisfied that the Scottish Prison Service adopted an appropriate and reasonable methodology for establishing costs and risk pricing in the public sector comparator model, giving the reasons for its position on this matter.
Answer
Yes. As I have made clear the costs of the PSC were a factor in my decision to have the costs and underlying assumptions verified by PricewaterhouseCoopers independently of the Scottish Prison Service. The resulting verification of the costs and methodology was published simultaneously with the Scottish Executive proposals.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether the costs of tendering for the envisaged private build, private operate prisons have been included in the price per prisoner place shown in the PricewaterhouseCoopers Financial Review of Scottish Prison Service Estates Review and what the reasons are for the position on this matter.
Answer
I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:The tendering costs cannot be reasonably estimated for any of the options until much further into the procurement timetable. It should, however, also be noted that design costs are not included in the PSC. The difference between tendering and design costs are not significant in a project of this scale.
