Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured design-and-build construction works at HMP Lewes prison. The project combines gas mains works, roof replacement and fire safety improvement works (FSI), within a wider programme of construction at the prison. The requirement is for delivery at HMP Lewes, in Lewes, England. The work falls within prison building construction (CPV 45216113). It is a construction requirement for suppliers able to manage and deliver multiple work elements within a live custodial estate; the listed scope includes building fabric, gas infrastructure and fire safety. The Ministry of Justice is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Galliford Try Construction (UK) Ltd. The award was made on 10 August 2026, following a mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service Construction Works and Associated Services framework, Lot 4.1. It used a selective call-off procedure. The contract value is £32,902,024.06. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 6 October 2030. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is presented as a combined project rather than a set of separately described lots. The award data identifies the successful supplier, but gives no evaluation criteria or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates Ministry of Justice demand for substantial, multi-discipline construction delivery within a prison environment, combining gas mains, roof replacement and fire safety improvement works. The selected supplier, Galliford Try Construction (UK) Ltd, is identified as a large company, and the procurement was run as a mini-competition through a construction works framework. Competitors for a future requirement of this kind would need credible capability to coordinate building services and fabric works with fire safety improvements, and to deliver a combined construction project at an operational custodial site. The stated scope indicates a need to manage several workstreams as one project; suppliers focused on only one isolated trade may be less well placed unless they can partner effectively with complementary specialists. The procurement is marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
