Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS), as part of the Department of Justice, recently concluded a procurement process for the supply and delivery of rugged kiosks, which was facilitated by the CPD - Supplies & Services Division. This contract, valued at £250,000, was awarded through an open procedure under the governance of UK regulation 2023/54. The kiosks aim to offer inmates secure, standalone access for self-service tasks such as meal selections and personal cash balance inquiries within NIPS facilities, including HMP Magilligan and Hydebank Wood College. The process moved through numerous stages, concluding with the contract being signed on 22 July 2025. The contract period extends from July 2025 to July 2028, with the project classified within the "Office and computing machinery" category and located in Northern Ireland.

This procurement initiative presents business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the computing machinery and equipment industry, by offering a framework to demonstrate capability in delivering highly secure and complex technical solutions. Suppliers that specialize in ruggedized computing environments are especially suitable to engage in such projects, as they align with the service needs of the NIPS to enhance digital literacy and facility services for inmates. The project’s requirements for durable and secure technology solutions allow vendors to leverage their expertise to expand their market reach and capabilities in the public sector.
