Description

MOJ & HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) are in the early stages of a project which will deliver the next generation service for the supply of Control & Restraint, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for local and Advanced trained staff operating across the HMPPS estate.

This covers all establishments across the justice estate in England and Wales, including an estimated 3,000 specialist (Advanced) trained staff. The current scope of equipment includes: body armour, arm/leg and groin protection, gloves, flame retardant clothing, helmets and a range of support equipment.

The next generation contracts, and the equipment they cover, must be capable of adapting to user feedback and changing requirements within the estate.

Suppliers must be able to provide customer support to officers in regards to order tracking, complaints and returns.

We are conducting pre-procurement activities using our Bravo solution to publish materials (see the additional info section ).
