Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System intended for vocational training courses for prisoners at HMP Haverigg. The contract, valued at £479,600, focuses on education and training services within the industry category and is scheduled to run from 1st May 2026 to 31st March 2028. The procurement process followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and is currently in the award stage, as of 30th April 2026. The services will be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those offering City and Guilds or equivalent qualifications in vocational disciplines like brick laying, fitted interiors, plastering, and painting & decorating. The contract supports involvement from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Additionally, with Fusion21 Ltd already appointed as the supplier, it sets a precedent for similar organisations to engage and potentially secure future contracts within the government sector, leveraging the credibility and experience gained through this project.
