## Summary

The procurement process for laundry equipment at HMP Gartree was conducted by the Ministry of Justice, a central government public authority based in London. The procurement involved the supply and installation of laundry washing, dry-cleaning, and drying machines. Initially awarded under a selective process from a framework agreement, the contract commenced on 28 January 2026 and ended on 31 March 2026, with key decisions dating back to 20 January 2026. However, due to technical issues, the publication of certain notices was delayed, affecting the prescribed timeline under the Procurement Act 2023. The contract, valued at £165,000 net (£198,000 gross), suffered termination on 31 March 2026, with resolution concluded by 21 April 2026.

This procurement offered substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing or supply of laundry equipment, particularly small to medium enterprises like Girbau UK. The contract was a one-off procurement above the threshold, suggesting a competitive environment favouring businesses with relevant industry expertise in laundry machinery. Engagement with a public authority in a central government framework could bolster the credibility and visibility of participating suppliers, fostering potential future collaborations. This opportunity set a precedent for similar tenders and could advantage businesses aiming to expand their footprint in public sector procurement.
