UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought a briquetter as woodwork capital equipment for HMP Swaleside. This is machinery used in woodworking, procured as goods for the prison. The requirement is specifically for a briquetter rather than a wider programme of woodwork equipment, and is linked to capital expenditure. The delivery location is HMP Swaleside; the procurement gives no more specific site address. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, a central government department. The named equipment classification is woodworking equipment (CPV 43810000).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition. The Ministry of Justice awarded the contract to G & J Wood Machinery Ltd. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its value is £55,000 excluding VAT and £65,000 including VAT. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the briquetter. The published information identifies no award criteria or eligibility requirements, so the basis used to select the supplier cannot be described further.

This award shows demand from the Ministry of Justice for capital woodworking machinery at HMP Swaleside, with a briquetter as the specific requirement. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply suitable woodworking equipment and demonstrate that it can meet the prison’s operational needs. The successful supplier, G & J Wood Machinery Ltd, is an SME, showing that a specialist small business has delivered this type of purchase. The procurement used a limited competition below the relevant threshold, so suppliers should be equipped to engage with a restricted competitive process rather than assume an open tender. The requirement is focused on equipment supply; the published scope does not indicate a wider service or works package.
