Description: The Prisoner Escort and Custody Services (PECS) Generation 4 Programme procures business critical contracts ensuring the continued safe and decent movement of prisoners between police stations, courts & prisons. The programme was set up to procure the next generation of critical contracts and deliver real improvements as part of those contracts which expired 28th August 2020 and successfully went live on 29th August 2020. PECS contracts enable the Criminal Justice System by providing for the physical movement of prisoners between police stations, courts and prisons, inter-prison transfers and the movement of children and young people between Secure Children's Homes, Secure Training Centre, YOIs and Courts. The service also covers the safety and security of prisoners in the court custody suites and court docks.
