## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed a procurement process for the replacement of handrails at HMP Preston, located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This construction project, valued at £4,237,418.26, falls under the industry category of prison building construction work. The tender utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. This two-stage design and build contract was awarded on 2nd April 2026 to Wates Construction Limited and runs until 19th May 2028. The project involves the replacement of existing landing and stair railings with new extended-height structural railings, supported laterally for increased stability.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for large construction firms capable of handling significant projects within an established framework agreement. Companies experienced in prison building construction, particularly those familiar with PPC2000 contracts, are well-suited to engage with similar opportunities. The specificity and scale of the project suggest that it is particularly tailored for well-resourced businesses that can meet the stringent criteria and technical demands involved in such contracts, positioned to benefit from participating in public sector tenders of this nature.
