Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed a procurement process for the "HMPPS Albany-Rapid Deployment Cells (RDC)-BPRN No.502/23/8175" project, focused on prison building construction work in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The process is at the award stage, with a contract awarded to Wates Construction Ltd, valued at £14,797,848.33. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, executed under a two-stage Design and Build Contract in compliance with PPC2000 (Amended 2013). The contract began on 13th March 2025 and is expected to conclude by 30th June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction services, particularly those with expertise in modular building systems for correctional facilities. While the contract has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, companies that provide complementary services such as the supply of specialised construction materials, furniture, utilities, and logistical support may find avenues for growth and collaboration. Although not suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger businesses with substantial resources and experience in high-security environments could benefit from potential subcontracting opportunities.
