Leonardo Royal Hotel London St Paul’s


The Justice Estates & Infrastructure Awards recognise excellence across the UK justice estate. They celebrate the organisations, projects and individuals driving progress in the planning, delivery and performance of justice infrastructure.

Building on the proven success of the Education Estates® Awards, they shine a light on those shaping the future of custodial, prison, court, probation and tribunal environments through innovation, collaboration and outstanding achievement.

The Awards showcase the most impactful contributions across the sector, recognising leadership, strong partnerships and the delivery of safe, secure and future-ready environments that support effective access to justice.

They honour the work of consultants, contractors, architects and clients, alongside pioneering approaches to sustainability, operational performance and long-term value.

Winners will be announced at a prestigious awards lunch on 18 November 2026, from 12:00 to 17:00. Guests will enjoy a three-course lunch while connecting with senior leaders and delivery partners from across the justice sector.
