The award positions KBR at the heart of the Ministry’s Property Transformation Programme (PTP) – one of the largest and most ambitious transformation initiatives across the UK Government. The programme is designed to modernise facilities management delivery by enhancing service quality, improving data and digital capabilities, upgrading IT systems, and embedding consistent professional and functional standards across the estate.

This contract expands the scope of services KBR will provide to the Ministry of Justice, with services now extending across the entire prison and probation estate in alignment with the PTP vision. Through this role, KBR will support the MoJ in evolving its operating model to ensure facilities management services remain compliant, efficient, and aligned with departmental and wider government strategies through 2030 and beyond.

Under the WSM contract, KBR will deploy its integrated Estates Intelligence assurance solution, combining deep asset management expertise with insights and advanced and predictive analytics. This capability is enabled by KBR’s proprietary VIAverse® platform, which enhances data transparency, performance monitoring, and decision-making across large, complex estates – key enablers of the MoJ’s transformation objectives.

The contract has a duration of five years with two one-year extension options (5+1+1). Mobilisation will begin in the third quarter of 2026, with full-service commencement scheduled for 1 June 2027.

Paul O’Shaughnessy, Vice President – KBR Mission Tech UK, said, "This award underscores the strength and longevity of our partnership with the UK Ministry of Justice and recognises KBR’s ability to deliver mission-critical programmes with certainty and pace, bringing a proven track record of operational performance at the forefront of major government transformation programmes."

This win further reinforces KBR’s position as a trusted delivery partner to UK government – applying integrated delivery, logistics, and commercial innovation to accelerate capability deployment, share and improve value for money.
