MoJ has secured funding to design and build 1,000 additional temporary prison places, the majority of these will be delivered in 2023.
The Rapid Deployment Cells Project was initiated to create a new design that can be quickly deployed to a variety of sites to help meet the short term demands of the prison estate.
James Withey, Managing Director at Algeco offsite, said: "Utilizing DFMA and Lean Manufacturing, along with our platform based approach, will deliver high quality units across these multiple locations. The temporary accommodation we have already supplied to the Ministry of Justice was to a very high standard, which we will continue with these longer-term structures."
The Crown Commercial Service's (CCS) £10bn Offsite Construction Solutions Framework aims to promote modular design in a drive to cut costs and help providers meet carbon net zero targets.
