Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed a procurement process for the supply of engineering capital equipment, specifically a tool chest for HMP Littlehey's prison industries workshop, under the category of industrial machinery. This contract falls within the goods procurement category and was executed using a direct method without competition, below the threshold. The procurement process culminated in an award dated 17th March 2026 and extends through to 31st March 2026. Situated in London, the Ministry of Justice served as the buying organisation, facilitating the procurement under the legal basis established by the UK legislation of 2023/54.
