Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of a managed service to supply prison officer uniforms, footwear, and accoutrements has been undertaken by the Ministry of Justice, located in London, UK. This procurement, classified under the industry category of occupational clothing, aims to deliver these goods to an estimated 108 sites across the UK for approximately 28,000 officers. The contract was completed using an open procedure with Cooneen Defence Ltd as the awarded supplier. Key milestones include the contract signing on 11 September 2025, following the tender and planning phases, which involved various updates, including an amendment to extend the deadline for expressions of interest from 6 December 2024 to 13 December 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in uniform and footwear manufacturing and supply, especially those with capabilities in quality management, supply chain logistics, and social value. The involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is evident, as two out of six received bids came from SMEs. With an awarded contract value of approximately GBP 29.7 million, suppliers with expertise in high-volume production and distribution across the UK's public sector could benefit significantly. This contract also offered additional opportunities for public bodies and government departments to onboard during its term, potentially expanding business growth for participating suppliers.
