UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured laundry equipment for HMP Elmley. The requirement covers the supply, installation and commissioning of washer extractors, making this a specialist goods opportunity for commercial laundry-equipment manufacturers, distributors and installation providers. The equipment is laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machinery, under CPV 42716000. Delivery and activity are associated with HMP Elmley in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns one completed lot and is focused on capital equipment rather than an ongoing laundry or cleaning service. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those able to provide industrial washer extractors and support their installation and commissioning within a custodial-estate setting, either directly or through an appropriate delivery and installation arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a competitive selective procedure under a framework agreement. The Ministry of Justice awarded the single lot to Girbau UK on 26 August 2026. The award value is £221,250 excluding VAT and £265,500 including VAT. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract is active and covers the same supply, installation and commissioning requirement for HMP Elmley. The selected supplier is Girbau UK, an SME. This outcome shows that the buyer used a framework call-off route for an above-threshold purchase of industrial laundry equipment, with award following a competitive process.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting the Ministry of Justice’s custodial laundry-equipment requirements. A credible competitor would need to supply industrial washer extractors and manage their installation and commissioning, rather than provide laundry operations alone. The awarded supplier’s profile also shows that an SME can win this type of central-government requirement. Businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate relevant equipment expertise, dependable delivery arrangements and practical installation capability in a prison environment. Experience coordinating equipment commissioning and supporting the buyer through delivery would strengthen credibility when a comparable requirement returns. The framework-based route is also commercially important: suppliers seeking similar work should understand how to access and compete through public-sector frameworks used by the Ministry of Justice.
