Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed the award of a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. This contract involves the provision of Construction Training and certification for the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) for prisoners at HMP Erlestoke. The process applies under the "Education and training services" industry category and covers regions including London and the South West, United Kingdom. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was finalised on 3rd June 2026, while the contract commenced on 11th May 2026 and will run until 31st March 2027.

This opportunity provides significant potential for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those focusing on vocational education such as construction training.

Businesses specialising in providing dynamic, tailored training programmes could see considerable growth prospects in this area, as the procurement strategy supports and acknowledges the role of smaller and socially driven enterprises.
