HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) Prison Retail Service provides approximately 80,000 prisoners with the means to order goods (fresh and frozen food, ambient food and non-foods e.g. toiletries) using their own funds. The contract is a key operational service in maintaining a stable environment and supports the HMPPS decency agenda, which focuses on normalising aspects of prison life to prepare eligible prisoners for release. At the time of the ITT there will be 18 prison workshops but this is expected to rise over term of contract; these are located within prisons and utilise a minimum of 520 prisoners to pick, pack and dispatch an estimated 66,000 orders a week.
