UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured engineering equipment for a prison industries workshop at HMP Ranby. The requirement covers a track and conveyor system for a powder coating plant, classified as industrial machinery. It is a goods procurement rather than a service or construction project. The equipment is intended to support powder-coating operations within the prison workshop, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, distributors and specialist engineering equipment suppliers with products suited to this type of industrial production environment. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, a central government authority. The work or equipment is associated with HMP Ranby; the buyer’s registered address is 102 Petty France, London.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot. Amber Industries Ltd was selected as supplier on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract value is £64,000 excluding VAT and £77,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 14 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award covers the industrial machinery required for the track and conveyor powder-coating plant at HMP Ranby. The published outcome records an active award and active contract, with the Ministry of Justice as buyer. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, so the route involved a restricted field of suppliers.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award identifies a specific Ministry of Justice requirement for industrial equipment supporting powder-coating operations in a prison industries workshop. Businesses best placed for a comparable requirement would have proven capability in engineering machinery, track systems and conveyor equipment, with a clear understanding of how these components function within a powder-coating plant. Credibility would also depend on being able to supply equipment suitable for a controlled institutional workshop environment and to meet the buyer’s technical requirements through a limited competition. Amber Industries Ltd is recorded as an SME, indicating that a specialist small or medium-sized engineering supplier can compete successfully for this type of requirement.
