Tender description
The Ministry of Justice requires a Contractor to provide the supply of Fresh Bread and Morning Goods to all public sector and in-scope private sector prisons in England and Wales.

The Contractor must be able to provide a core range of bread products and have the ability to deliver products on a national basis. Products must also comply with all relevant food safety legislation.
