Overview
The National Distribution Centre is a business-critical site which primarily provides warehousing and distribution services and specialist and professional support to:

  • His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) in its role to provide offender management services in the community and in custody ensuring best value for money from public resources.
  • Commercial and Contract Management Directorate (CCMD) in delivering expert commercial support and advice to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and its business areas.

  • Storing and delivering a range of 3,200 internally manufactured and commercially bought products, ranging from prisoners' personal possessions to stationery, cell and office furniture, prisoner clothing and footwear, prison officer uniform and footwear, and raw materials & components for prison workshops.
  • Providing a monthly, fortnightly, weekly, twiceweekly, 3day and next day scheduled delivery and collection service to all Public Sector Prisons, some Private Sector Prisons, and other partners and stakeholders, using a team of logistics and transport staff and drivers, a fleet of heavy goods vehicles with demountable vehicle bodies, light vans and a contracted parcel and pallet carrier/courier service.
  • Providing added value services such as product returns/exchange, relabelling, repackaging, cross docking, and disposal of surplus and obsolete items on request.

Customer and Supplier Base

  • The number of public and private sector prisons is 13
  • Average prison population is currently around 84,000 prisoners.
  • We supply uniform and footwear to 14,500 prison officers annually.
  • The average value of stock held in the distribution hub is £8m with an annual turnover of around £24m.
  • There are around 60 manufacturing prisons that produce goods for consumption internally and for sale externally, and approximately 1520 external suppliers who deliver goods directly to us from as far a field as Bangladesh and China.
