Mott MacDonald on delivery team to expand the UK Ministry of Justice’s estate

Mott MacDonald has been appointed as a program delivery partner by the UK Ministry of Justice to expand its prison estate. The Future Prison program will be delivered in partnership with AtkinsRéalis and Arcadis.

The team will deliver a range of services including project and programme management, information management and health and safety advisory services across the expansion programme - which will include the upgrade and expansion of current facilities as well as the design and build of new facilities.

Mott MacDonald’s advisory and programme development managing director, Rachel Ellison said: “Our team of project and programme management experts, combined with our advisory and consulting professionals, will bring a wealth of experience to the partnership’s work with the Ministry of Justice as it evolves and expands its prison estate.

“We 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.”

The Future Prison program aims to create the right environment for rehabilitation, with the upgrading of the prison estate playing a major role in supporting this.
