The contract, which falls under the education and training services category, is worth £33,025 and involves the delivery of trauma-informed, person-centred courses.

The focus on trauma-informed and person-centred approaches underscores the opportunity for innovative service providers who can demonstrate a measurable impact in improving essential skills among prisoners.
