UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured the manufacture of curtains in a range of sizes for use by Prison Industries. This is a goods requirement focused on producing finished curtains rather than supplying general prison furnishings or installation services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, a central government department. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and specialist textile businesses able to produce curtains to varied dimensions and meet the operational needs of prison-based industries. Businesses with production facilities, textile sourcing capability and experience supplying public-sector or institutional customers would have a closely related commercial profile, particularly where they can manage consistent manufacture across different curtain sizes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Fashion-Enter Ltd. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £111,000 excluding VAT, or £133,200 including VAT. The awarded supplier is Fashion-Enter Ltd, an active small and medium-sized enterprise based in Haringey. The procurement used a limited procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The award covers curtains classified under CPV 39515100. The contract is below the applicable threshold and relates to goods supplied for delivery in the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates a defined Ministry of Justice requirement for manufactured curtains in multiple sizes, with delivery at national scale and a short institutional supply period. Competitors preparing for a future requirement from this buyer would need reliable textile manufacturing capacity, the ability to produce consistent finished goods to varying measurements, and sufficient production control to fulfil an order within a set operational window. Experience supplying prisons, government departments, custodial organisations or other institutional customers would help establish credibility, especially where the business can demonstrate quality assurance, dependable sourcing and repeatable output. The successful supplier is an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that this type of manufacturing requirement can be fulfilled by a smaller specialist business.
