The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has appointed the three firms in a four-year contract to deliver upgrades and expand the UK\u2019s prison estate<\/h2>\n

New UK prisons are to be built by the delivery partners, with AtkinsR\u00e9alis taking the prime lead role on the programme.<\/p>\n

The programme will also cover the upgrade and expansion of current MoJ facilities.<\/p>\n

AtkinsR\u00e9alis will cover several aspects of the programme<\/h3>\n

AtkinsR\u00e9alis will be responsible for project and programme management, information management, and health and safety advisory services.<\/p>\n

Terry Stocks, property director UK & Ireland for project and programme services at AtkinsR\u00e9alis, said: \u201cThe driving force is to create the right environment for rehabilitation, and the upgrade of the prison estate plays a key role in supporting this through the multi-disciplinary services we are providing as delivery partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cCentral to this programme is that it delivers more than new buildings by encompassing real social value benefits to those individual offenders and the wider community. In addition we will also be working with organisations within the criminal justice space to support schemes that seek to help reduce reoffending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis latest contract award follows the successful delivery of projects over the last 15 years including complex capital maintenance projects on the existing estate, and design services for several of the prison expansion programmes.\u201d<\/p>\n

New UK prisons will focus on reducing re-offenders<\/h3>\n

AtkinsR\u00e9alis will work with The Longford Trust<\/a>, Koestler Arts<\/a>, and Forests with Impact<\/a> to create employment routes and apprenticeship pathways for prison leavers. The Social Value Team will be developing these routes in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Mott MacDonald\u2019s advisory and programme development managing director, Rachel Ellison, said: \u201cOur team of project and programme management experts, combined with our advisory and consulting professionals, will bring a wealth of experience to the partnership\u2019s work with the Ministry of Justice as it evolves and expands its prison estate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a strong track record of undertaking project management and strategic advisory services for the MoJ across its key projects and programmes, including the provision of Property Professional Services, support to the Accelerated Houseblock Delivery Programme at HMP Hindley and the previous Category D Feasibility study programme. Our teams are looking forward to continuing delivery of this vital expertise through this new partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart Cash, business area director, Places, UK and Ireland for Arcadis, said: \u201cWe are excited to be delivering on this vital project for the Ministry of Justice as they deliver a future prison estate that provides the capacity needed so that sentences can be served and ensures people can be supported to turn their lives around.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis important role builds on more than 15 years of work with the Ministry of Justice across their prison, court and probation estate. Arcadis is proud to be able to bring expertise and insight from our ongoing relationship that spans areas as diverse as sustainability, health and safety, design, delivery, digital advisory and facilities management.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, the UK’s first all-electric prison opened in York<\/a>, constructed by Pick Everard and Kier, and is another facility focused on rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
