The recent contracting process undertaken by the Ministry of Justice pertains to the provision of nasal Naloxone, a pharmaceutical product to be delivered across various HMPPS settings in England and Wales. The contract award was completed on 10th December 2025 following an open procurement method, with the award being made to Orion Medical Supplies. The contract commences on 12th January 2026 and spans until 11th January 2031, focusing on public sector facilities such as prisons and probation offices. Located in London, the Ministry of Justice serves as the central buying authority for this initiative, focusing on compliance with UK health standards and the timely delivery of the medicinal products.
