Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice is buying injection moulding machines for HMP Ranby. The requirement covers the supply, installation and commissioning of machinery for working rubber or plastics, intended for use at the prison. This is a goods procurement rather than a construction or general services contract. Suppliers would be responsible for providing the machines and bringing them into operation at the required site. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist machinery suppliers serving plastics or rubber processing environments, particularly those able to deliver installation and commissioning as part of the supply. HMP Ranby is the stated delivery location, and the Ministry of Justice is the buying organisation.

The process has reached tender: the Ministry of Justice invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 26 August 2026 at 13:00, and tenders were due by 7 September 2026 at 10:00. The planned award decision date was 16 September 2026. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £458,000 excluding VAT and £550,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with electronic submission allowed in English. Evaluation is based entirely on quality: technical capability carries 30%, performance and support 30%, installation and delivery 20%, and warranty 20%. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits suppliers with proven expertise in injection moulding equipment and machinery used to process rubber or plastics. Strong candidates will be able to supply appropriate machines, install them at HMP Ranby and commission them so they are ready for operational use. The evaluation places equal emphasis on technical capability and performance and support, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable equipment, responsive after-sales service and effective operational support. Installation and delivery arrangements form a significant part of the assessment, as does the proposed warranty. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist manufacturers, distributors and engineering businesses with the capacity to deliver and support the equipment.
