UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed the procurement process for a project titled "HMP Elmley - Key Tracing System," aimed at supplying and installing a key tracing system at HMP Elmley. This process falls under the industry category of security equipment and has been carried out through a limited procurement method due to its below threshold nature, with limited competition. Located in London, the procurement stage currently stands at award, with key dates including the contract signing on 24th March 2026, and the completion of the contract expected by 23rd June 2026. The contract has been awarded to AVONWOOD DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED, a supplier based in Wimborne, UK.

This tender presents a promising business opportunity for companies specialising in security equipment, particularly those capable of delivering goods in a competitive environment. Businesses operating as small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in providing cutting-edge security solutions would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. Moreover, participation in such tenders can aid companies in expanding their portfolio and enhancing their credibility within central government procurement networks. Companies aiming to collaborate with public authorities, like the Ministry of Justice, should leverage such opportunities to gain a foothold in public procurement contracts.
