Description

This provision relates to the supply of Sewing Machines, Parts and Ancillary Items and Repair Services to MoJ Industries, Retail, Catering and Physical Education (IRCPE). Suppliers will be required to source, stock and deliver as requested across the prison estate a range of goods and/or services. IRCPE manage industries in 95 prisons in England and Wales, including some private sector prisons, and currently operate 465 workshops employing 1060 staff and around 15,000 prisoners and detainees. This includes 76 Textile workshops, employing approximately 2275 prisoners on a daily basis producing clothing and textile products for the prison population. Prison Industries also continue to support other Government Departments by using offender labour to manufacture over £3million pounds worth of goods annually. The purpose of IRCPE is to help reduce the potential for prisoners to reoffend and to help PSP deliver Decent Regimes. Allied to that purpose are two main aims: - To provide employment for prisoners, enabling them to experience real work, 'on the job training', and life skills in the preparation for their release. - To produce high quality goods and services to allow prisoners to live decent lives in custody. The expectation is that this requirement will be procured by Lots. There will be 3 lots for: 1) Sewing Machines, 2) Parts and Ancillary Items and 3) Repair Services.
