Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the supply of packaging materials, which are to be used by prison workshops and the HMPPS National Distribution Centre. This procurement is classified under the goods category, with a substantial budget of £4,000,000, aiming to source items such as boxes and pallet boxes. The contract period is slated to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2031, providing a lengthy timeframe for suppliers. The procurement falls above the threshold, indicating a broad scope. Businesses can anticipate a future notice by 30th November 2025, allowing ample time for preparation. The procurement is linked with central government public authority classification and is situated in the UK, with the Ministry’s offices located at 102 Petty France, London.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in packaging materials, particularly those providing boxes and pallet boxes. Companies that meet the procurement thresholds, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), should regard this as a potential for long-term engagement given the five-year contract period. The planned status of the procurement indicates early engagement could foster advantageous partnerships. This tender could be particularly suited for businesses with capabilities in large-scale manufacturing and distribution within the UK, providing a reliable supply chain network to government entities. It could serve as a significant growth avenue, potentially enhancing market positioning and increasing visibility within the government contracting space.
