Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the HMPPS Lewes project involves the design, installation, and commissioning of a new CCTV system, undertaken by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) with Wates Construction Limited as the contractor. This project falls under the prison building construction work industry category, taking place in the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is a selective call-off from a framework agreement, and the project operates under a two-stage Design and Build Contract governed by the PPC2000 (Amended 2013) Form of contract. The tender period concluded on 17 July 2025, with the contract running from 5 March 2026 to 5 March 2029. The total estimated value of the project stands at £3,145,402.35, highlighting its significance within the construction sector.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale construction firms specialising in security systems and infrastructure projects. Companies experienced in comprehensive project delivery, from pre-construction surveys to final commissioning, will find lucrative prospects in engaging with such contracts. Although the procurement was not aimed at small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), large firms like Wates Construction Limited are well-suited to leverage their resources and expertise to successfully complete the project, thereby enhancing their portfolio in high-security facility upgrades.
