Amey has been awarded a contract to manage hard FM services at HMP Lowdham Grange, a Category B training prison in Nottinghamshire for adult male offenders.
Amey Business Director Pete Mathieson said: “We have been a strategic partner to the Ministry of Justice for several years and have a unique understanding of what is needed to deliver facilities management services within these complex sites.
“HMP Lowdham Grange has a unique set of challenges, and we will be working collaboratively with existing personnel and the prison team to ensure the site is returned to a stable condition.”
Amey has been supporting existing employees with initial mobilisation activities, ensuring they have the right resources, support, and guidance to transition smoothly into Amey’s ways of operating. The existing maintenance team TUPED over when the contract went live in August, with additional vacant positions expected to be filled in the coming weeks.
Partnering with clients that include the Ministry of Justice, HM Courts & Tribunals, and Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service, Amey looks after 64 high-profile prison sites as well as providing services that support the wider judicial system. Its expert teams offer everything from planning and secure prisoner transportation, to maintaining and enhancing courthouses and secure premises.
