The contract, titled "The Supply of Weigh Pads For HMPPS Community Payback Scheme," falls under the industry category of 'goods' and specifically involves the provision of scales. It was completed through a framework agreement mini-competition, adhering to the regulations of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The awarded contract was signed on 11 June 2025, with a value of £127,400. The awarded supplier for this contract is Fleet Factors Limited. The delivery of these goods is required to be distributed across 22 locations throughout England and Wales.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in the manufacture and supply of scales or similar electronic measuring equipment. Given that the project required specialised weigh pads that are waterproof, wireless, and suitable for outdoor use, companies with expertise in advanced weighing technology could have been strong contenders for this opportunity. With the additional specifications of a rechargeable digital weight indicator and compatibility with ramps for vehicle boarding, businesses that focus on innovative and tailored engineering solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. The project supports societal efforts by enhancing the operations of the community payback scheme, highlighting a symbiotic relationship between public service provision and commercial enterprise.
