Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought laundry equipment removal and installation works for the prison industries workshop at HMP Wealstun. The requirement concerns laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machines, with work to remove existing equipment and install replacement or other equipment. The delivery location is HMP Wealstun. This is a prison-specific equipment installation project rather than a general laundry service contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Laundry Maintenance Nationwide. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT (£25,000 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not state an evaluation basis or detailed eligibility conditions.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for specialist laundry equipment removal and installation at a Ministry of Justice prison site. A credible competitor would need the capability to handle commercial laundry machinery, remove existing equipment and install equipment within an operational prison-industries workshop. Experience planning and delivering site-based installation work in a secure custodial environment would be relevant, alongside the capacity to complete a discrete project of this scale. The successful supplier was Laundry Maintenance Nationwide, an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business. Similar firms with practical machinery installation and removal expertise are the closest match for this type of Ministry of Justice requirement.
