## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured engineering equipment for the Prison Industries Workshop at HMP Ranby: a classic open-fronted manual spray booth. This is a goods requirement concerning industrial machinery, intended for use in a prison workshop. The scope is focused on supplying the spray-booth equipment rather than a broader engineering services package. Businesses active in industrial machinery, spray-booth manufacture, equipment supply or related workshop infrastructure would have the closest relevance. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Justice, a central government authority. The requirement is associated with HMP Ranby, so suppliers would need to support delivery and the practical requirements of installing or supplying equipment for that prison workshop.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It consisted of one completed lot. Trucoat Systems Ltd was selected as supplier. The award is active and covers industrial machinery. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026, runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £18,000 excluding VAT or £21,000 including VAT. The award date is 26 August 2026. The procurement was evaluated through a limited competition, with the detailed award criteria not stated in the available process information. This outcome identifies the buyer’s chosen route for a below-threshold purchase of a specific spray-booth requirement.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement provides a clear example of the Ministry of Justice buying specialist industrial machinery for a prison industries workshop. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a classic open-fronted manual spray booth or closely comparable equipment, understand workshop applications, and meet the practical requirements of delivery to an HMP site. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of specialist equipment purchase can be fulfilled by a smaller business rather than only a major national contractor. Relevant manufacturers, distributors and specialist equipment firms should monitor the Ministry’s requirements and be prepared for a below-threshold limited competition route.
