## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has successfully completed the Cat D Prison Expansion Programme at HMP Ford, which involved the design, construction, and completion of additional accommodation buildings. This construction project, valued at approximately £14.4 million, took place in the South East of the United Kingdom. The contract period commenced on 12 April 2021 and concluded on 31 August 2022, following a tender period that ended on 18 December 2020. The procurement method utilised was selective, operating under a call-off from a framework agreement.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for firms in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in large-scale building projects. Companies that focus on modular construction, along with those experienced in developments linked to prison infrastructure or governmental facilities, would be particularly well-suited to bid for similar contracts in the future. The success of this programme may encourage further expansions, thereby increasing demand for qualified contractors looking to grow their business in this area.
