ISG's major refurbishment project at HMP Birmingham is part of the MoJ’s wider £3.8 billion estate modernisation programme, which sees the creation of 20,000 new prison places across the UK. As part of this, ISG will refurbish and return to use 300 single person cells at HMP Birmingham - a Category B men’s prison in the Winson Green area of the city.

ISG is also one of four project partners on the MoJ's pioneering £1 billion New Prisons Programme Alliance. This high-profile programme sees four of the UK’s top Tier 1 contractors working together collaboratively to deliver four new adult male prisons across the UK, in a novel procurement approach that is being widely held up as an exemplar for unlocking innovation and learning, promoting efficiencies and best value, while focusing on optimum sustainable and social value outcomes.
