Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has concluded a procurement process for a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, aimed at providing reading and numeracy support for residents of HMP Wakefield. Categorised under education and training services, this contract was awarded through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Located in the North East of the United Kingdom, the contract is valued at £69,143 and spans from 1 August 2025 to 30 June 2027. The tender stage was completed on 11 April 2025, with the award made to the Shannon Trust, a supplier recognised as a small or medium enterprise (SME) and a voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE).

This contract offers substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses experienced in providing educational support services within correctional institutions. SMEs and VCSEs engaged in the education and training sector will find this project especially relevant, given the tailored nature of the dynamic purchasing system and its focus on smaller, socially-conscious organisations. Companies capable of delivering specialised educational support are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, allowing them to expand their services and contribute significantly to improving educational outcomes for inmates within the UK prison system.
