## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has recently completed a procurement process titled "Control and Restraint". This involves the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff in Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) who are involved in planned Use of Force. The total contract value is £6.4 million, with the contract period running from 1st May 2018 to 30th April 2023. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing various suppliers to participate. The delivery addresses include locations across the United Kingdom and its overseas territories. This procurement was processed under the goods category, specifically focusing on protective gear such as body armour, helmets, and restraints. The awards for the contracts were formally announced on 31st August 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to cater to the public sector’s need for high-quality protective equipment. Companies that specialise in manufacturing or supplying protective clothing and gear, such as coveralls, helmets, and batons, would be well-positioned to compete in this market. Firms capable of meeting the rigorous standards required for products used in safety-critical environments will find this contract a valuable avenue for business expansion, particularly those based in areas served by the Ministry of Justice.
