About

The Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to Hovis Limited for the supply of fresh bread and morning goods to all public sector and in-scope private sector prisons in England and Wales.

The contract, valued at £6,400,000, is critical to the prison service, which feeds over 80,000 prisoners as well as prison staff and visitors.

The contractor must provide a core range of bread products and have the ability to deliver products on a national basis, complying with all relevant food safety legislation.

The number and location of prisons may change due to closures and openings, and there may be scope to deliver to prisons in Scotland.

The anticipated term is 3 years from service commencement (following an anticipated 3-month mobilisation period), with an option to extend for 1 year at the Authority's discretion.
