Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured an industrial powder coating system for the Prison Industries workshop at HMP Wymott. The requirement covers supplying the system, installing it and commissioning it for use in the workshop. This is equipment supply with associated installation and commissioning services, rather than a general prison maintenance contract. The named delivery location is HMP Wymott; no more specific place is identified.

The procurement is complete and TD Finishing Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award is recorded as pending. The award date was 14 October 2026, with a contract period from 26 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The authority used a direct award after inviting suppliers to tender in a competitive procedure but receiving no tenders; it said another competition would not allow award within the project timescales. The supplier was selected under that rationale; no further evaluation criteria are stated.

For suppliers serving this requirement when it returns to market, relevant capability would include providing a complete powder coating system and delivering its installation and commissioning in a prison workshop environment. The selected supplier is an SME, and the lot was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that this scale of equipment requirement was not restricted to large businesses. Businesses with relevant industrial equipment, project delivery and commissioning experience would be best placed to demonstrate a credible fit. The purchasing route used here followed an unsuccessful competitive invitation and a stated project time constraint; suppliers should be able to respond to the buyer’s requirement and delivery constraints.
