Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured the supply and installation of three outdoor meeting pods at HMP Send, a prison in Surrey. The requirement is for modular and portable buildings, covering both the provision of the pods and their installation on the prison site. This is a goods-led requirement with an associated installation service, relevant to manufacturers, suppliers, fit-out businesses and specialist contractors able to provide secure-site delivery and installation. The buyer is a central government department, and the specific operational setting is HMP Send rather than a general Ministry of Justice estate-wide requirement. The procurement is titled HMP Send – Outdoor Meeting Pods P2 and concerns one defined requirement for the prison.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to THE MEETING POD COMPANY LTD. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £86,813.80 excluding VAT, or £104,176.56 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not provide a separate award date. Evaluation details beyond the limited-competition route are not stated in the procurement outcome. The requirement was treated as below the applicable threshold and was not divided into multiple awarded lots.

For a supplier assessing future Ministry of Justice demand, this procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for three outdoor meeting pods at an individual prison, combining manufacture or supply with on-site installation. A credible competitor would need a product suitable for outdoor use, the ability to provide modular or portable building solutions, and sufficient delivery and installation capacity for a secure custodial site. Relevant experience in supplying comparable pods, modular buildings or specialist facilities would help demonstrate fit. Suppliers should also be able to manage site coordination, logistics and installation while meeting the practical constraints of a prison environment. The limited-competition route indicates that businesses need visibility with the buyer and a clear, relevant capability in this specific type of facility work.
