Description

Supply of Industrial Laundry Detergent, Detergent Dosing Equipment and Associated Services to HMPPS Laundry Workshops over a 7 year contract.

Total Quantity or Scope

There are 33 industrial laundry workshops 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 approx. 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. PSPI require laundry detergents and equipment that can provide low-temperature disinfection (no higher than 40 degrees Celsius) providing a minimum 6 log reduction. Public Sector Prison Industries (PSPI) employ 11,000 prisoners a day across 465 workshops as part of 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.
