Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured the supply and installation of a key management cabinet at HMYOI Brinsford. This is a goods requirement involving security equipment for a prison environment. The work concerns providing a cabinet and installing it for use at the young offender institution. The buyer is a central government department, with responsibility for the requirement held by the Ministry of Justice. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are suppliers and installers of secure key management equipment, access-control hardware or comparable security systems for custodial or other controlled sites. The requirement is focused on a complete supply-and-installation service rather than general facilities management, construction or unrelated prison services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed and awarded to ASSA ABLOY GLOBAL SOLUTIONS UK LIMITED trading as Traka on 3 September 2026. The active contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £16,100.89 excluding VAT, or £19,321.07 including VAT. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering the key management cabinet requirement. The award was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. Traka is the selected supplier, and the contract remains active for the stated delivery and installation period.

This award is evidence that the Ministry of Justice buys specialist key management cabinets and associated installation for custodial sites. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to provide security equipment suited to controlled prison environments and be able to manage both equipment supply and on-site installation. Credibility is likely to depend on a reliable, secure key-management solution, practical installation capability and the capacity to work within operational constraints at a young offender institution. The successful supplier is a large specialist security-equipment business, so competitors should be able to demonstrate comparable technical expertise, delivery capability and experience supporting public-sector or similarly security-sensitive sites. The direct-award route also indicates that established supplier relationships and clearly defined specialist provision may be commercially relevant.
