Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned skills-for-working-life training courses for prisoners at HMP Humber. The provider is to develop learners’ positive attitudes to work and build the essential skills and behaviours needed for employment. The intended outcomes are progression to the next stage of learning and development within the prison, or preparation to apply for and sustain meaningful employment after release. This is education and training work, delivered at HMP Humber in England. The requirement concerns practical employability learning for people in custody, rather than general prison services or education provision across multiple sites.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to n-ergy Group Ltd. The award date was 6 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £17,000. The requirement was placed as a call-off under a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective process. The response deadline was 10 September 2026. The contract covers skills-for-working-life courses at HMP Humber. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award; no separate lot awards or evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

For providers of prison education and employability training, this award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for focused work-readiness courses in a custodial setting. A credible competitor would need to deliver learning that builds work-related attitudes, essential skills and behaviours, and supports both progression within the prison and preparation for employment on release. Delivery must be suited to prisoners at HMP Humber and connect learning to realistic employment outcomes. The contract was awarded through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be equipped to compete through that route. The selected provider was an SME, indicating that this requirement was within the scale of a smaller supplier, as well as relevant to voluntary, community and social enterprises.
