Tender description

This requirement covers the purchasing of business critical items required for Prison Officers to undertake their duties and delivers across an estimated 104 sites supplying uniforms, footwear and accoutrements for approximately 30,000 officers. The purpose of any future procurement will be to appoint a single supplier providing a managed service to supply Uniform garments, footwear and accoutrements. MoJ will be hosting a virtual early market engagement event to notify suppliers of a future potential requirement for the supply of Uniform garments, footwear and accoutrements. The event will provide the market with an opportunity to feed into the requirements using their experience and knowledge as well as gaining an understanding of public sector procurement processes. Additional information: In order to support a potential tender process for the above Managed Service, the Ministry of Justice is planning to hold a virtual Early Market Engagement Event. The Event is planned to be held in May/June 2024 (however, this may be subject to change) with the aim of bringing together and engaging with potential suppliers of the provision. Potential providers interested in attending the virtual Early Market Engagement Event should register on the Ministry of Justice eSourcing Portal, https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk where you will be able to continually access further information about this and any future event(s) to be hosted and confirm attendance. The virtual early market engagement event does not formally signify the beginning of a procurement and does not constitute a commitment by the MoJ to undertake any procurement exercise.

About the buyer

The Ministry of Justice is a central government ministerial department with its own Commercial Standards team providing procurement guidance. Procurement now follows the Procurement Act 2023, in force since February 2025. Higher-value contracts appear on Find a Tender, with Contracts Finder used for lower-value opportunities. Suppliers register and bid through the MOJ Sourcing Portal, the department's e-procurement platform. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems. HM Courts and Tribunals Service, HM Prison and Probation Service and the Legal Aid Agency are the department's main delivery bodies.
