The Ministry of Justice has concluded its procurement process for the supply and installation of observation panels at HMP Holme House, with MSM Fabrications Ltd being awarded the contract. The procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically safety glass, and was executed using a direct procurement method due to being below the threshold for competition. The process stage is now complete, with the contract period running from 11th March 2026 to 30th April 2026. The location of the contract execution is in Holme House, and it aligns with the 'public authority - central government' industry category.
