The requirement covered the supply, installation and commissioning of the equipment, making this a capital purchase of industrial laundry machinery rather than an ongoing laundry service. The equipment is classified as laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machinery. Delivery and associated installation work are for HMP Elmley in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a central government department, so suppliers operating in public-sector, custodial or other controlled-site environments may find this procurement relevant. Businesses should be able to provide the specified hydraulic water press and manage its installation and commissioning as a complete equipment supply package for the prison site. This procurement is complete and was awarded through a competitive award under a framework using a selective procedure. The award decision was made on 22 July 2026, and Girbau UK was selected. The award and signed contract are valued at £191,666 excluding VAT, or £230,000 including VAT. The contract was signed and started on 6 August 2026, with performance scheduled to end on 31 March 2027. The contract covers one requirement for the hydraulic water press. The procurement records the framework route and competitive process, but no award scoring or weighting is stated. The contract is active and the procurement is above the applicable threshold. This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers of industrial laundry and water-press equipment seeking comparable Ministry of Justice work in future. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable hydraulic laundry machinery and take responsibility for safe, effective installation and commissioning, rather than offering equipment alone. Relevant capability includes coordinating delivery to a prison site, working within a controlled operational environment and handing over functioning capital equipment to the required standard. Girbau UK is recorded as an SME supplier, indicating that a smaller specialist business can compete for this type of requirement through a framework. Suppliers with framework access, public-sector delivery experience and dependable technical installation support would be well placed for similar demand from this buyer. ## Notice The supply, installation and commissioning of a Hydraulic Water Press to HMP Elmley.
