Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned works at HMP Onley in the West Midlands to replace 402 cell doors across wings A to E, G and H, together with 422 cell windows in the same wings. The requirement covers the design and build of the prison estate works, including pre-construction surveys and design services. It is classified as prison building construction work (CPV 45216113) and falls within the works category. The project concerns secure custodial accommodation, so relevant suppliers would need to understand the operational, access, safety and security constraints associated with carrying out construction and replacement works inside a working prison. A constructor was appointed to deliver the design and build project for the Ministry of Justice.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Galliford Try Construction Limited on 9 July 2026. The award value is £8,818,468. The contract runs from 9 July 2026 to 9 April 2028. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with a two-stage design and build contract under the PPC2000 (Amended 2013) form. The original tender deadline was 25 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The first stage covers pre-construction surveys and design services valued at £329,255, while the expected total construction cost was £8,818,468.54. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates substantial Ministry of Justice demand for specialist prison refurbishment delivered through a framework call-off and a two-stage design and build route. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in replacing secure cell doors and windows at scale, together with the ability to manage surveys, design development, construction planning and delivery in a live custodial environment. Experience coordinating works across multiple prison wings would be relevant, as would robust controls for site access, security, safety, sequencing, quality and operational disruption. The requirement also indicates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises may be considered suitable, potentially as principal suppliers, framework partners or specialist subcontractors where they can demonstrate the necessary technical competence, capacity and secure-estate experience.
