Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured a fixed number of Tribunal Judge robes. This is a goods requirement for specialist clothing and associated accessories, intended to provide judicial robes for tribunal judges. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, a central government authority. The procurement was managed for the Ministry rather than for a commercial customer, so suppliers serving public bodies and judicial institutions are the most relevant comparators. The requirement is narrow and product-specific: businesses whose work covers the manufacture, sourcing, tailoring or supply of formal judicial or other specialist professional robes are more relevant than general clothing suppliers. The successful supplier, Ede & Ravenscroft Limited, is based in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Ede & Ravenscroft Limited. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 25 September 2026. Its value is £13,083.40 excluding VAT, or £15,700 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the published information does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria. The process therefore records a completed, single-supplier purchase of a fixed number of Tribunal Judge robes, rather than a multi-lot framework or a continuing service arrangement. The award was made to the named supplier on the active contract.

This procurement shows a specific Ministry of Justice demand for formal judicial clothing supplied as a defined quantity of Tribunal Judge robes. A competitor would need a reliable capability to manufacture, tailor, source or distribute specialist robes, with the product knowledge and production or fulfilment capacity needed for a public-sector order of this kind. Ede & Ravenscroft Limited is recorded as an SME supplier, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only by a large national contractor. Businesses tracking future requirements from this buyer should be able to demonstrate experience with judicial, ceremonial or similarly formal professional clothing and be prepared to compete through a below-threshold limited-competition procedure.
