Tender description

Public Sector Prison Industries (PSPI) employ 11 000 prisoners a day across 465 workshops as part of ‘The HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS)’. The purpose of PSPI is to help reduce the potential for prisoners to reoffend and to help Public Sector Prisons deliver Decent Regimes. Allied to that purpose are 2 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, and — to produce high quality goods and services. There are 32 industrial laundries across the prison estate operating washer-extractors from 7 kg up to 200 kg, plus 8 continuous tunnel washers. The laundry workshops provide clean clothes and bedding for 80 000 prisoners every week, plus some external customers. Processing over 8 000 000 kg of laundry per year, this is an essential service to the prisons. This project is looking at the re-procurement of the laundry detergent contracts.
