Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured construction works to improve fire safety at HMP Styal in North West England. The requirement covers significant upgrades to the MBU and Nightingale house blocks, which are not purpose-built prison accommodation. The works are intended to rectify fire safety issues identified through a review of the custodial estate and an agreed priority list of fire safety improvement requirements. HMP Styal is a prison for female adults and young offenders, with both open and closed populations. The opportunity therefore concerns specialist building and fire-safety improvement works within a live custodial estate, rather than general construction or routine facilities management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 March 2026 to HBC Constrcution Limited. The contract value is £3,809,240. It was run as a selective procedure and awarded as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 13 June 2025 at 4pm. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 15 July 2031. The published outcome identifies one successful supplier and an active award. The requirement was classified as construction work and categorised as works. The award was made by the Ministry of Justice for the HMP Styal fire-safety improvement requirement.

This procurement provides evidence of sustained Ministry of Justice demand for substantial fire-safety construction and refurbishment within custodial buildings. A credible future supplier would need the capacity to manage a sizeable, multi-year works package, deliver complex building upgrades and address fire-safety defects in accommodation that was not purpose-built for prison use. Experience of working in secure or operational public estates would be relevant, including the ability to plan safely around open and closed custodial populations, maintain site controls and coordinate disruptive works. Suppliers should also understand framework call-off routes and be able to demonstrate robust construction management, compliance, quality assurance and delivery across a live prison environment.
