## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is seeking suppliers for the 'Prisoner & Non-Prisoner Food Supply' contract, which falls under the food, beverages, tobacco, and related products category. This selective procurement process is currently in the award stage, with an estimated contract value of £450,000,000 over a maximum term of 9 years, starting from 9 March 2017 and concluding on 7 May 2021. Delivery will be required to various public prisons, immigration removal centres, and some privately managed prisons in England and Wales. The tender period ended on 15 June 2016.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in food supply and logistics, to expand their operations within the public sector. Companies that can efficiently deliver a wide range of ambient, fresh, frozen, and chilled food products would be well-positioned to compete, especially those with experience in catering for large institutions. The fluctuating nature of prison populations indicates that responsiveness and flexibility in supply capabilities will be crucial for any prospective suppliers.

## Notice

The Contractor shall source and deliver ambient, fresh, frozen and chilled food to some public prisons, including some with outsourced catering, some immigration removal centres and some privately managed prisons throughout England and Wales. The number and location of prisons and immigration removal centres to which the Contractor shall be required to deliver may change to include additional privately managed prisons and as a result of the closure of some existing facilities and opening of new facilities. The value of the contract is estimated to be PS450,000,000 over the maximum term of 9 years (the minimum term being 4 years with various options to extend as set out in the Contract Notice) based on the supply of food to a current prison population of around 86,000 which may change resulting in an increase or decrease in order volumes. The Authority does not give any warranty, commitment or guarantee as to the volume of supply that may be required during the contract or the level of expenditure with the Contractor.
