A constructor has been appointed for the design and build of the project.

This is a two stage Design and Build Contract let under the PPC2000 (Amended 2013) Form of contract.

The original estimated value of the contract was calculated by MOJ, and its Cost Consultants following desktop and non-intrusive surveys and was based on information reasonably known at the time and arrived at via a thorough and appropriate methodology.

The first stage will involve the constructor providing Pre-construction surveys and design services at a cost of £33,2829.
