The British Prison Service has identified the need to improve its finance, procurement and HR support services. A national shared service center has been designed to bring together and simplify processes within these areas as part of a project known as the Phoenix Program.

The Phoenix Program is an initiative introducing new ways of working in finance, procurement and HR, to reduce costs while providing consistent, high quality support to the organization. A new IT system will be implemented across the Prison Service to help achieve this.

The National Shared Service Center will be located in Newport, Wales and is due to open in April 2006 and will support 130 Prison Service establishments and 48,000 staff.
