Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Woodwork Capital Equipment - Spindle Moulder - Leyhill" was carried out by the Ministry of Justice, located at 102 Petty France, London, UK. Originally in the tender stage and now complete, this procurement was conducted under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54 and followed a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature. The tender aimed to supply woodworking capital equipment for a prison industries workshop, specifically a spindle moulder. This resulted in an active award dated 5th November 2025 with a contract running until 31st March 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £36,000 gross, with the supplier being G & J Wood Machinery Ltd, an SME based in Houghton Le Spring. The procurement falls under the goods category, with delivery across the UK.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in woodworking equipment, particularly those with existing capabilities to support industrial projects within correctional facilities. SMEs and suppliers experienced in supplying niche equipment to institution-level clients will find this contract a particularly good fit. Due to the limited competition method applied, businesses that can efficiently operate within the constraints of below-threshold procurement processes are best suited to compete in such tenders in the future. Moreover, gaining a partnership with a central government entity like the Ministry of Justice could open doors for further opportunities, enhancing business growth and sector credibility.
