Galliford Try secures £56.4m fire safety improvements contract at HMP Moorland

Galliford Try’s Building North East and Yorkshire team has been awarded a £56.4m contract to deliver Fire Safety Improvements (FSI) at HMP Moorland by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ).

The project will see upgrades to critical fire safety systems across the Category C prison, including enhancements to fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire compartmentalisation, smoke extraction, roof vents, high-pressure misting units and fire doors.

The scheme marks the region’s second major FSI contract win this year, following the award of a £44.5m contract at HMP Wakefield in February.

Matt Raynor, Galliford Try’s Operations Manager at HMP Moorland, said: "We have been working collaboratively at HMP Moorland for the past three years and have established a great relationship with the establishment. The team is looking forward to continuing our close collaboration on the FSI programme and using our existing knowledge of the prison to ensure the project is a success."

Ian Jubb, Managing Director of Galliford Try’s Building division, commented: "Winning this contract is a testament to the expertise and strong track record of our team in delivering critical upgrades within secure environments.

“Fire safety is a key priority for the MOJ, and we are proud to be playing our part in ensuring the highest standards are met at HMP Moorland. We look forward to working closely with the client and stakeholders to successfully deliver this vital programme of works."
