## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a contract for the supply of Fresh Bread and Morning Goods, essential for feeding over 80,000 prisoners, staff, and visitors in public and private sector prisons across England and Wales. This procurement, classified under the goods category for "Bread," was conducted via an open procedure with a total contract value of £12 million. The contract commenced on 8th August 2020, lasting for three years with an option for a one-year extension. The award notices were published on 21st September 2020, with the delivery locations spanning multiple regions including London, the North West, and Wales. The tender had a submission deadline of 26th February 2020.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the food supply chain, especially those specialising in bakery goods capable of meeting strict food safety standards for large-scale distribution. Suppliers with the capability to deliver bread products nationally, particularly those experienced in the public sector, are well-positioned to compete. The contract may also allow for additional delivery to Scottish prisons, opening further avenues for expansion in adjacent markets.

## Notice

The Ministry of Justice requires a Contractor to provide the supply of Fresh Bread and Morning Goods to all public sector and in-scope private sector prisons in England and Wales. This supply is critical to the prison service who feed over 80,000 prisoners as well as prison staff and visitors. The Contractor must be able to provide a core range of bread products and have the ability to deliver products on a national basis. Products must also comply with all relevant food safety legislation. The number and location of prisons to which the Contractor shall be required to deliver may change to include additional prison sites as a result of the closure of some existing facilities and opening of new facilities. There may also be scope to deliver to prisons in Scotland. The anticipated term of the contract will be 3 years from service commencement date (following an anticipated 3 month mobilisation period) with the option to extend (in accordance with the terms of the contract and at the Authority's discretion) for a period of 1 year.
