Electronic Monitoring Service for Extended Supervision Orders in Wellington Prison

The New Zealand Department of Corrections is planning to add to its prison in Wellington region a Specialised Electronic Monitoring Service for a cohort who are on Extended Supervision Orders (ESO). This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation to suitably qualified service provider to submit a Proposal for Electronic Monitoring Service.

In addition, New Zealand uses Electronic Monitoring for a cohort who are on Extended Supervision Orders (ESO) and are still under the jurisdiction of the courts. The ESO cohort has freedom of movement as long as they operate within the terms of their ESO. We are looking to establish a residence for a subset of this cohort on an existing site owned by the Department.

Each person must be able to be tracked and monitored 24x7 in all environments in which they may be. This include buildings, the grounds and outside in the broader community (as per their current Electronic Monitoring). This is a single stage open RFP process and will require respondents to provide all details in full against the schedule provided.

The expectation is that this contract will be for three years with the option for a one plus one yearly extension. The Department wish to engage a service provider who understands our objectives and can deliver a comprehensive electronic monitoring solution, working with the Department to ensure our processes are fit for purpose.

We are seeking to select an experienced service provider to contribute to our safe environment. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the Corrections prison enhancements in New Zealand. The RFP and Appendices are attached for reference. Suppliers interested in this opportunity must indicate their intent to respond as per the format provided together with the RFP.
