Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) Class 1 driver training for prisoners at HMP Haverigg. The course is intended to develop the driving skills and obtain the licence needed to work as an HGV Class 1 driver, improving participants’ employment prospects after release. This is a vocational training service delivered at the prison in Haverigg.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TWA Certifications Ltd on 24 September 2026. The contract value is £24,987.27, for delivery from 19 October 2026 to 18 January 2027. It was a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 14 September 2026 at 3pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award data does not set out an evaluation basis or separate lots.

For training providers, this award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for practical HGV Class 1 driver training for people in prison, with the aim of supporting employment after release. A credible competitor would need to deliver driver training that builds the required skills and enables learners to gain the relevant licence, in a prison setting. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller provider was able to deliver this requirement. Providers with suitable delivery capacity and experience in vocational driver training for this learner group are closest to the requirement.
