"The Home Office has denied there was a 'conflict of interest' when it awarded a £462.6m deal to manage sites used to process migrants arriving in the UK on small boats."
"High Court documents claimed the Home Office failed to 'prevent, identify and remedy conflicts of interest' because MTC's head of development, Dave Butler, was previously deputy director of Manston."
"A defence filed by the Home Office said the claim was 'baseless' and without merit, with no conflict of interest."
The Home Office awarded a £462.6m contract for managing migrant processing sites to MTC Definitive, denying any conflict of interest. Mitie Care and Custody is suing the Home Office after losing the contract for two sites in Kent. High Court documents allege that the Home Office did not adequately address potential conflicts, particularly regarding MTC's head of development, who previously held a position at the Manston processing centre. The Home Office's defense claims the allegations are baseless and meritless.
