We had the prison capacity programme in the late 2000's under a Labour Government. If I recall we had a budget of £1.2bn to build new and extend existing prisons. One of the key strategies was building off site 60 bed accommodation units that were "dropped in" to existing prisons or new space just outside an existing prison. We also built 2 no 300 place prisons using modular (included accommodation, catering, & L & D units. We built these in 6 months, I am assuming this can still be done albeit the supply chain for modular builds may be less than then. My role was intially as interim head of procurement and then as a consultant advisor who set up the MOJ's project delivery system which saved £65m and improved delviery by 400%. Happy to provide advisory services to the MoJ if they need it!!!
