Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of Library Services at HMP Grendon/Springhill was initiated by the Ministry of Justice, a significant buyer in the penal services industry. This tender was classed under prison services (CPV code: 75231230) and was conducted via a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action due to being below the financial threshold. The tender period concluded on 31st March 2022, with the contract commencing on 1st July 2022 and scheduled to run until 31st March 2025. The total contract value is £216,836, and delivery addresses encompass a wide range of geographical locations, including the United Kingdom and various overseas territories.

This contract represents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in government services. Businesses specialising in library services, educational resources, or rehabilitative programmes would be particularly well-suited to participate in future tender opportunities related to this contract or similar projects within the justice system.
