This initiative is crucial for enhancing the quality of education services, with a potential value estimated at up to £100 million. Key dates include an engagement end date set for 3 August 2018, which is vital for suppliers interested in participating. The services will be delivered across various regions in the United Kingdom, including London, the North East, and the South West.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those specialising in tailored educational programmes for custodial environments.

The dynamic nature of the DPS, which will likely include short-term contracts, allows for flexibility and encourages diverse suppliers to engage, ultimately enhancing the educational landscape within the prison system.
