Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured the supply, installation and commissioning of washer extractors for HMP Elmley in the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement for institutional laundry equipment, covering the equipment itself and the associated installation and commissioning work. The procurement relates to laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machines (CPV 42716000). It is focused on meeting laundry-processing needs at HMP Elmley rather than providing a general laundry service. Businesses involved in commercial laundry equipment, industrial washing systems, prison or custodial-facility equipment, equipment installation, and commissioning may therefore find the requirement relevant. The named public-sector buyer is the Ministry of Justice, a central government authority.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective, competitive procedure, with the award made under a framework agreement. One completed lot was awarded to Girbau UK. The award date was 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £221,250 excluding VAT and £265,500 including VAT. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled for 8 September 2026. The successful supplier is Girbau UK. The award is above the relevant threshold. The published outcome identifies the requirement as washer extractors for HMP Elmley, evaluated through the competitive framework route.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for commercial washer extractors in a custodial setting, including supply, installation and commissioning rather than equipment supply alone. It provides a useful benchmark for businesses supplying industrial laundry machinery and for specialist installers able to integrate, test and commission such equipment at a prison site. Girbau UK is identified as an SME supplier, showing that delivery is not limited to a large corporate provider. Future credible competitors would need a suitable commercial laundry equipment range, the technical capability to install and commission washer extractors, and the operational capacity to work within HMP Elmley’s requirements. Familiarity with framework-based public procurement and competitive call-offs would also be commercially relevant.
