## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is conducting a tender for "Prison Retail Services," aimed at supplying food, beverages, and related products to the prison estate across England and Wales. The procurement falls within the category of goods and is intended to support approximately 80,000 prisoners by enabling them to order goods using their own funds. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with the procurement process expected to facilitate multiple retail workshops located throughout the prison system. Key details include the classification under CPV code 15000000 and a focus on maintaining operational stability while preparing prisoners for reintegration upon release.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in wholesale food supply, logistics, and workshop management. Companies that can offer fresh and frozen food products, ambient goods, and toiletries would find a suitable match for their services within this contract. Additionally, businesses focusing on social responsibility and skills training for individuals within the prison system may align well with the goals of the Ministry of Justice, which seeks to normalise aspects of prison life and facilitate rehabilitation through these procurement services.

## Notice

Multiple Retail Workshops geographically located across England and Wales providing a distribution service to the Prison Estate in England and Wales. HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) Prison Retail Service provides approximately 80,000 prisoners with the means to order goods (fresh and frozen food, ambient food and non-foods e.g. toiletries) using their own funds. The contract is a key operational service in maintaining a stable environment and supports the HMPPS decency agenda, which focuses on normalising aspects of prison life to prepare eligible prisoners for release. The current solution is provided as part of a nationally managed service providing wholesale goods, logistics/fleet, rehabilitation of prisoners and the management of multiple workshops. At the time of the ITT there will be 18 prison workshops but this is expected to rise over term of contract; these are located within prisons.
