Algeco secures additional £11m with the Ministry of Justice

Our offsite team has just secured a further 175 Rapid Deployment Cells (RDC) from the MoJ (Ministry of Justice), deemed as Wave 3 of the RDC programme.  

This is excellent news for our Offsite business and is an additional £11m on top of the already secured £33m of RDC orders. 

Wave 3, which is an extension to the current contract, was awarded to Algeco because of the successes we have achieved in delivering Wave 1 and 2a. 

The initial order for £33m comprised of Wave 1 (396 units across several locations) and Wave 2a (215 units across further locations). 

Our Algeco Cannock offsite facility will manufacture the cells utilising DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) and Lean Manufacturing techniques. We will then install and commission the RDC’s as part of working with the MOJ. 

James Withey, Managing Director at Algeco Offsite, said:

“These are exciting times for our offsite team at Cannock and the wider Algeco business. Wave 3 was awarded to Algeco due to the excellent progress we are making on Wave 1 and 2a.” 

The Rapid Deployment Cells Project was initiated to create a new design that can be quickly deployed to a variety of sites to help meet the short term demands of the prison estate. Discover more about the MOJ contract.
