## Summary

The recently awarded contract for the refurbishment of HMP Durham's Tythe Barn was managed by the Ministry of Justice and awarded to Wates Construction Limited. This project involves the comprehensive refurbishing of Grade ll listed barn and granary buildings, adhering to Historic England standards. The procurement falls under the 'Prison building construction work' category, with a budget of approximately GBP 1,737,343.30. The contracting process, conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement (PPC2000, as amended), reached the award stage, with the contract period set from 24th June 2026 to 25th October 2027. The project is located in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities primarily for large construction firms, as it encompasses extensive design and construction phases over more than a year. Participants in this tender had to provide pre-construction services before commencing with the actual refurbishing, indicating that experienced construction firms with the capability to manage complex refurbishment projects and adhere to strict heritage building regulations would be well-suited. With the procurement method being selective, businesses already part of the referred framework had a strategic advantage in competing for this high-value contract.
