Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS), functioning under the Department of Justice NI, has concluded a five-year procurement process through an open procedure for the supply and delivery of toiletries and personal hygiene items. These products will be distributed within Northern Ireland's prison establishments and available for purchase through prisoners' tuck shops. The procurement covers a significant contract valued at £2.15 million, effective from 21st November 2025 to 20th November 2030. The contracting process was managed by the CPD - Supplies & Services Division, a central procurement body for the Northern Ireland government. The process was initiated in August 2025, with the contract awarded in November of the same year. This completed stage implies that documentation is finalized and preparation for contract execution is underway at locations in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs capable of supplying personal care products compliant with government regulations. The contract's impressive gross value of £2.58 million suggests stable revenue streams over the next five years for suppliers capable of meeting the demand for toiletries and personal hygiene goods. Businesses with experience in serving public sector contracts or those specialising in personal care product supply within the UK market are particularly well-suited to such opportunities. Engaging in this sector not only enables consistent economic influx but also strengthens partnerships with central government entities like the Department of Justice NI.
