UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured the rental of a food digestor at HMYOI Downview. This is a goods requirement centred on providing the digestor as equipment for use at the young offender institution. The associated classification describes waste and rubbish containers and bins, indicating that the requirement sits within waste-handling equipment and food-waste management. The buyer is a central government department responsible for the site and its facilities. The requirement is specific to HMYOI Downview rather than a broad estate-wide service, so relevant businesses are those able to supply, install or support food-digestion equipment in a custodial setting, with arrangements suited to operational public-sector premises and waste-handling needs.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Selective Leasing Limited was selected as the supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 25 March 2025 and runs from 25 March 2025 to 31 March 2030. Its value is £15,625 excluding VAT, or £18,750 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the requirement. The published outcome shows a single supplier and an award based on the direct-award route rather than a competitive evaluation. The contract is active, and the tender itself is recorded as complete.

For suppliers assessing future Ministry of Justice requirements, this award demonstrates demand for rented food-digestion equipment at an individual custodial site, delivered through a relatively small, below-threshold purchase. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable equipment for processing food waste, structure the offer as a rental, and support reliable use in a secure institutional environment. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that delivery at this scale can suit a smaller specialist business rather than only a major facilities-management contractor. Relevant experience in waste-handling equipment, site servicing, maintenance, compliance and working around prison operations would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
