Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice is procuring an industrial powder coating system for the Prison Industries Workshop at HMP Wymott. The requirement covers supply, installation and commissioning of the complete system, intended for use in the prison workshop. It is classified as industrial machinery and is a goods procurement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the named operational site at HMP Wymott. This opportunity will suit businesses that manufacture, supply or integrate powder coating equipment and can provide the associated installation and commissioning service. The buyer is a central government organisation, so suppliers should be prepared to work within public sector contractual and operational requirements for a custodial environment.

The procurement has reached tender: the Ministry of Justice invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 3 September 2026 at 14:00, and bids were due by 10 September 2026 at 14:00. The planned evaluation decision date was 22 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. Its stated value is £300,000 excluding tax and £360,000 gross. The single lot is evaluated entirely on quality: technical compliance carries 30%, performance and support 30%, installation and delivery 20%, and warranty duration 20%. Electronic submission is allowed and bids must be in English.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized enterprise with proven capability in powder coating systems or related industrial machinery. Suppliers need to be able to provide the equipment as a complete solution, install it at the prison industries workshop and commission it for operational use. The evaluation places substantial emphasis on technical compliance, so bidders should be able to demonstrate that their proposed system meets the specification. Strong after-sales performance and support are important, as are dependable installation and delivery arrangements. Suppliers should also offer a clear, competitive warranty duration and have the capacity to support the system throughout the contract period. Relevant machinery supply, engineering, installation and maintenance experience will be valuable.
