Plastics in primary forms

Tender description

The supply of plastic granules, polycarbonate, polypropylene and flame retardant materials. 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 6 plastics workshops across the prison estate producing items used by prisoners including cell chairs, knifes/spoons/forks, toothbrushes in addition to work for external customers. This project is looking at the re-procurement of the plastic granules contract for the supply of plastic granules, polycarbonate, polypropylene and flame retardant materials.
