Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured the supply, installation and commissioning of injection moulding machines for working hard plastics at HMP Ranby. This is a machinery supply and installation requirement, intended to equip the prison with industrial plastic-moulding capability. The machines were to be delivered and commissioned at HMP Ranby; the recorded delivery location is in the United Kingdom. The requirement covered the machines and the associated installation and commissioning work, rather than a general prison maintenance or manufacturing service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Negri Bossi Ltd. The award was made on 23 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 2 October 2026. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract is valued at £458,000 excluding VAT (£550,000 including VAT). It was a single-lot procurement run under an open procedure. Three bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. The award was assessed entirely on quality: technical capability carried 30%, performance and support 30%, installation and delivery 20%, and warranty 20%.

This award shows that the Ministry of Justice buys injection moulding machinery together with installation and commissioning for use at HMP Ranby. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply machines suitable for working hard plastics and demonstrate technical quality, reliable performance and support, effective delivery and installation, and a strong warranty offer. The evaluation placed equal emphasis on technical capability and performance and support, with the remaining weight split between installation and delivery and warranty. The award went to an SME, and all three final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the requirement was competed by smaller suppliers as well as being suitable for them. Suppliers need capacity to deliver and commission industrial machinery at a prison site.
