The site, which was brought under public sector control earlier this year, is a Category B training prison for adult male offenders aged 21 and over, and has an operating capacity of 888.
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.
Amey’s Justice Business Director, Pete Mathieson, said: “We have been a strategic partner to the MoJ for several years and have a unique understanding of what is required 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.”
Partnering with clients that include the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), HM Courts & Tribunals, and Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), Amey looks after 64 high-profile prison sites as well as providing services that support the wider judicial system.
