The Committee requests that the progress report provides an update on the development of the new prisoner transport contract, including— • ensuring Scotland specific financial information will be available to help inform any future funding decisions • that pay and conditions will reflect the demands and requirements of the role • that the findings of the HM Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland’s thematic review of prisoner transport, once published, will be used to inform options for the new contract. • Separate financial reports for the SCCPES contract (linked to recommendation 139).
