UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured a single-hit press for the engineering workshop at HMP Bure. This is a goods requirement for industrial engineering machinery, classified under CPV 42000000. The purchase is intended to equip the prison’s engineering workshop with a specific piece of machinery rather than provide a broader engineering service. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, a central government authority. The requirement was structured as one lot and formed a call-off from an existing framework. It therefore concerns the supply of a defined industrial machine to a Ministry of Justice operational site, with the relevant end user being the engineering workshop at HMP Bure.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a competitive selective procedure under a framework agreement. It comprised one completed lot. Amada UK Ltd was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded value is £290,000 excluding tax, or £345,000 including tax. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award and contract are active. The recorded outcome is a single supplier award for the supply of the single-hit press. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. The framework call-off route means the competition took place among suppliers within the relevant framework arrangements.

This procurement indicates demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist industrial machinery for prison engineering workshops. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would be established manufacturers or authorised UK distributors of single-hit presses and related industrial engineering equipment, with the capacity to provide a complete, compliant machine to a public-sector specification. Credibility would also come from experience supplying machinery into operational or controlled environments, understanding workshop safety and technical requirements, and working through framework call-off competitions. Businesses tracking this buyer should focus on its direct requirement for engineering machinery rather than general prison services. The selected supplier’s scale suggests that future competitors may need robust manufacturing or distribution capacity, reliable public-sector procurement processes and evidence of delivering technically specified industrial equipment.
