## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed the procurement process for the LaunchPad Programme, which involves the purchase of 3,000 specialist secure devices for prisons. The industry category is classified under "Portable computers" (CPV code: 30213100). This procurement was carried out through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 14th November 2023 and the contract period beginning on 20th November 2023, lasting until 15th November 2024. The total contract value was awarded at GBP 1,785,558.64, with delivery addresses spanning the United Kingdom, Europe, and other regions worldwide.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in secure, portable computing devices, particularly those capable of fulfilling large-scale, high-security requirements. Companies that already operate within established framework agreements, particularly those with a strong track record in supplying to government or correctional facilities, would find this opportunity beneficial for growth and reinforcing their market position. While the contract was awarded to SOFTCAT PLC, businesses looking to enter or expand in this sector should prepare for similar future opportunities by aligning with relevant framework agreements and honing their capabilities in secure technology procurement.
