UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought industrial engineering machinery, including its supply, installation, commissioning and servicing for prison workshops in England and Wales. The requirement covers machinery used in workshop environments across the prison service; the published item classification is industrial machinery (CPV 42000000). This is a goods procurement with associated installation, commissioning and ongoing servicing, rather than a machinery-only supply. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, a central government department. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the requirement as a single package.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Amob Machinery Limited was selected under a competitive award made through a framework agreement, using a selective route and a below-threshold award process. The award and contract were both recorded on 9 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The award relates to one lot. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated in the published procurement details.

For machinery suppliers serving secure or institutional workshops, this award demonstrates Ministry of Justice demand for an integrated package: supplying engineering machinery and taking responsibility for installation, commissioning and servicing at prison workshops in England and Wales. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable industrial equipment and the practical capability to install and commission it, then support it through servicing. Experience delivering work across prison locations would be relevant to the requirement’s setting and geographic reach. The award was made competitively through a framework, so framework access and the ability to compete through that route are commercially important. The single-lot structure indicates that the buyer placed the supply and related technical services together in one package.
