Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured a programme delivery partner for the Four New Prisons Programme. The requirement covers continued delivery of project management, building information modelling (BIM) and technical assurance roles across the New Prison Programme. This is a professional construction consultancy service, rather than construction work itself. The services are intended to support prison programme delivery across the United Kingdom and a range of international locations, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other parts of the world. The buyer is based at 102 Petty France, London, England. The requirement falls within CPV 71530000, construction consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from the Government Commercial Agency RM6165 Lot 1 Framework. Mace Consult Ltd was awarded the contract on 4 August 2026 for £20,000,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 17:00. The award covers the programme delivery partner requirement for the New Prison Programme. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The procurement is classified as a services contract, with the framework call-off route determining the competitive process.

For a supplier assessing future Ministry of Justice opportunities, this award demonstrates demand for large-scale programme delivery support in the prison estate. A credible competitor would need proven capability in project management, BIM and technical assurance, with the capacity to work across a complex, multi-project public sector programme. The requirement is suited to an established delivery partner able to coordinate technical functions and maintain assurance across prison development activity, rather than a general construction contractor without consultancy capability. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a scale and organisational profile aligned with a large specialist consultancy. Experience of framework-based public sector call-offs would also be relevant.
