Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured laundry equipment for the prison industries workshop at HMP Wormwood Scrubs. The requirement covered laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machinery, together with an engineers’ gas safety survey and data loggers. This is a goods procurement serving a custodial setting in London. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, a central government authority. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and relates to equipment and associated technical safety-monitoring activity for the prison laundry operation. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are suppliers of commercial laundry machinery, gas safety surveying and data-logging equipment, particularly those able to support equipment used in a prison workshop environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. CRS Gas Solutions Limited was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 22 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £12,000 excluding VAT, or £14,000 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for the laundry equipment requirement. The procurement used a limited procedure, rather than an open competition, and the published title identifies the engineers’ gas safety survey and data loggers as part of the requirement. The selected supplier is an SME.

This award indicates that the Ministry of Justice purchases practical laundry-workshop equipment alongside gas safety surveying and data-logging capability for custodial sites. A credible future competitor would need to supply or support commercial laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machinery and understand the associated engineering safety requirements. Relevant capability includes carrying out gas safety surveys and providing data loggers suitable for recording equipment or system information. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than only a large national contractor. Suppliers should therefore be able to combine equipment knowledge with dependable technical field support for a prison workshop environment, and demonstrate that they can manage a focused, below-threshold public-sector requirement through a limited competition.
