Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice is procuring the supply and installation of a new biomass boiler system for the woodwork workshop at HMP The Verne. The requirement covers boiler and heating equipment, including delivery and installation, for the prison workshop in the United Kingdom. This is a goods procurement with an estimated scope focused on replacing or providing the workshop’s heating system with biomass technology. Suppliers should be able to provide a complete boiler system and carry out the associated installation and delivery work at the prison site. The opportunity is relevant to heating, biomass energy, commercial boiler and mechanical installation businesses able to work in a Ministry of Justice environment and meet the requirements for a prison-based project.

The procurement has reached tender: the Ministry of Justice invited offers through an open procedure. It has one lot and is above the relevant threshold. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT, or £420,000 including VAT. The deadline for enquiries was 28 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline is 2 October 2026 at 12:00. The evaluation and award decision period ends on 20 October 2026. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Electronic submission is allowed in English through the Ministry of Justice’s commercial procurement portal. Award is based entirely on quality: technical compliance 30%, performance and support 30%, installation and delivery 20%, and warranty 20%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is best matched to suppliers with practical experience designing, supplying and installing biomass boilers or comparable commercial heating systems. Strong bidders will be able to demonstrate technical compliance, reliable delivery and installation, effective performance support and a credible warranty offer, since these areas together determine the full evaluation. The short contract period favours businesses with the capacity to coordinate equipment supply, site installation, commissioning and support within a defined delivery window. Heating contractors, biomass system specialists, boiler manufacturers with installation capability, and partnerships combining equipment supply with mechanical engineering and aftercare may all find the requirement relevant.
