Project Progress: Edgbaston Stadium Redevelopment, Birmingham

We are pleased to highlight the ongoing progress at the Edgbaston Stadium redevelopment project in Birmingham, where we are working in close collaboration with the principal contractor, John Sisk & Son. Following the successful completion of the initial demolition phase, the development is advancing steadily into its main structural construction works.

MPB Structures is delighted to be delivering the reinforced concrete framework for this prestigious scheme, which forms a core component of the transformative Edgbaston Masterplan.

Delivering a Modern Sporting and Hospitality Landmark

The £42 million redevelopment will significantly enhance the stadium’s facilities and its long-term contribution to the local economy. Our structural framework supports the delivery of key project features, including:

  • Upgraded Spectator Facilities: The construction of a modern, single 3,200-seat stand structure to replace the historic Raglan and Priory stands.
  • A New Premier Hotel: The integration of a four-star Radisson RED hotel, complete with dedicated hospitality boxes and pitch-facing rooms overlooking the grounds.
  • Community and Economic Legacy: Supporting a project designed to generate permanent local employment and expand the year-round utility of the venue.

Collaborative Engineering

The efficient progression of the substructure and framework works is a direct result of the strong partnership between the MPB and John Sisk & Son delivery teams. By integrating early engineering expertise, clear logistical planning, and rigorous safety standards, we are ensuring the construction programme remains safely on schedule for completion ahead of the summer 2027 international cricket fixtures.

We thank Kris Wadley and the entire Midlands team at John Sisk & Son for their exceptional collaboration, and we look forward to sharing further structural milestones as the project advances.

MPB Welcomes New Procurement Policy Note Prioritising Skills in Public Contracts
MPB Structures welcomes the recent announcement from the Cabinet Office regarding the new Procurement Policy Note (PPN). Effective from January 2027, the updated framework will double the minimum social value weighting to 20 per cent on government contracts valued at £5 million or more. Most notably, the policy refines social value outcomes to two core criteria: ‘good jobs’ and ‘skills’. This structural change means that apprenticeships, training, and work placements will effectively count for double in the bidding process. As an organisation deeply committed to workforce development, we fully endorse this strategic alignment of public spending with long-term skills generation.
