At HMPs Guys Marsh, Kirklevington Grange, Warren Hill and the new prison in Buckinghamshire, work remains ongoing following ISG’s administration in September 2024. Pre-construction work is either underway or complete at these sites, including design work, and all have been appointed a new contractor.

40 Rapid Deployment Cells have been delivered at HMP The Verne and are operational.
