Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed the award stage of a procurement process for a music programme aimed at prisoners at HMP Feltham. This project falls under the "Education and training services" category, with a specific focus on services. The procurement method used was a selective approach through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract, valued at £15,250, is set to commence on 7th August 2026 and conclude on 6th June 2027. While the procurement was conducted in England, the delivery of the programme will occur in London, United Kingdom. The award was finalised on 27th May 2026, with official publication on 2nd June 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), thanks to its suitability criteria. The music programme can serve as a platform for businesses specialising in educational and rehabilitative services to expand their operations by partnering in public sector projects. Organisations like Finding Rhythms, which are engaged in social enterprise initiatives, are particularly well-placed to benefit from and contribute to such procurement opportunities, leveraging their expertise to foster business growth and social impact in correctional education.
