Willmott Dixon - Mixed-Use Development - UK, Willmott Dixon in Line for £60m Prison Work

Date: 17 Oct 2006

Willmott Dixon Construction is in line for £60m of prison work from the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) under its strategic alliancing agreement.

The company has signed an agreement to start pre-construction planning for a 180-place house block at HMP Swaleside in Kent that is likely to be worth in the region of £25m. Work on the house block should start on site in early 2007 and it will include facilities that provide vocational training, health care, a segregation unit, control room and car park.

Another project moving forward is at B Wing at HMP Nottingham, anticipated to be worth £35 million. Willmott Dixon Construction's brief is for a new 510-place house block, plus associated support facilities, and sees a return to the prison where it recently upgraded meeting rooms, offices, workshops and the kitchen area. Construction on site is expected to begin in November 2007.

Willmott Dixon is one of seven constructors chosen by NOMS in 2004 to build facilities and carry out minor refurbishment works on a nationwide basis under the strategic alliancing agreement. These latest projects take the value of work secured by the company for NOMS to over £85 million.
