Indicators

Legal Justification

Continuity of service is required at HMP Shotts due to their reliance on the Kiosk service while the national in-cell services contract tender process is being undertaken. This is primarily due to the operational risk associated with removing the Kiosk service and as a result of both users and SPS staff being heavily reliant on the Kiosk service (including the time saving it has achieved by moving away from manual, paper based processes).
