Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured an automatic-feed bandsaw for prison engineering workshops at HMP Featherstone and HMP Warren Hill. The requirement formed part of a wider programme to supply, install, commission and service engineering machinery for prison workshops in England and Wales. The equipment is industrial machinery intended for workshop use. The two named prisons define the delivery sites for this call-off; the wider programme covers prisons across England and Wales.

The procurement is complete: Amob Machinery Limited was selected and the contract was signed. The award was made on 9 October 2026, with the contract running from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). It was a competitive, selective call-off under a framework agreement, using a below-threshold award route. The procurement was organised as one lot. The contract is for the supply of the bandsaw, with the wider requirement covering installation, commissioning and servicing of engineering machinery. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information.

This award shows demand from the Ministry of Justice for industrial machinery for prison workshops, specifically an automatic-feed bandsaw, alongside the associated installation, commissioning and servicing. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply appropriate engineering machinery and be able to install it, commission it for operational use and provide servicing. The work is a focused equipment supply rather than a large-scale works contract, but delivery spans two prison workshops and requires the supplier to work in a custodial setting. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that a business of that scale secured this framework call-off. Experience supplying workshop machinery and managing installation and aftercare would therefore be relevant when this buyer next requires comparable equipment.
