About

Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to Enveloped Design Solutions Ltd for the supply of industrial laundry detergent, detergent dosing equipment, and associated services to HMPPS laundry workshops over a 7-year contract, valued at £4,667,740.

The contract covers 33 industrial laundry workshops across the prison estate, operating washer-extractors from 7 kg up to 200 kg, plus 8 continuous tunnel washers, processing over 8,000,000 kg of laundry per year to provide clean clothes and bedding for approximately 80,000 prisoners weekly.

The detergents and equipment must provide low-temperature disinfection (no higher than 40 degrees Celsius) with a minimum 6 log reduction.

Public Sector Prison Industries (PSPI) employ 11,000 prisoners daily across 465 workshops as part of HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), aiming to reduce reoffending and support Decent Regimes through prisoner employment and on-the-job training.
