Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured fire safety improvement works at HMP Lincoln, with the work delivered in Lincoln. The requirement is primarily for fire-detection systems, alongside associated construction work. The scope concerns improving fire safety within a prison environment, so it is relevant to contractors that can combine specialist fire-protection systems with building and construction activities in a secure operational site. The procurement is categorised as works rather than goods or general services. The named buyer is the Ministry of Justice, while the selected supplier is a large construction business, indicating a requirement suited to organisations able to manage a substantial, complex works package and coordinate specialist delivery.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 21 February 2023 to Galliford Try Construction Limited for £36,695,411 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 13 January 2026 to 5 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 26 January 2023 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award is active, and the contract period and value apply to the single requirement for fire safety improvement works at HMP Lincoln.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates substantial Ministry of Justice demand for integrated fire safety and construction capability at a prison site. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need proven expertise in designing, supplying, installing and improving fire-detection systems, together with the construction management capacity to deliver associated works. Experience of working in secure, occupied or operational public-sector environments would be commercially relevant, as would robust planning for site access, safety, coordination and continuity of essential services. The selected supplier’s scale also indicates that future competitors may need sufficient financial, management and delivery capacity to lead a complex works package, while coordinating specialist subcontractors where required.
