Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured an education and training service for prisoners at HMP Hull in Hull. The requirement is an educational in-cell television service for prisoners who are hard to reach, supported by a complementary communications channel. The service is intended to encourage engagement with, and uptake of, educational provision. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, and sits within the education and training services category. The requirement concerns delivery within HMP Hull, with the buying organisation based in Leeds. It combines technology-enabled learning content or access with communications designed to reach prisoners and support participation in education.

The procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, specifically the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to PeoplePlus Group Ltd on 6 August 2026 for £17,000. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 3pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award. The requirement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers combining prison education expertise with secure digital learning delivery. Credible competitors would need to provide reliable in-cell television or comparable prisoner-facing technology, manage educational content and access, and operate a communications channel that can engage people who are difficult to reach. Experience of delivering education in custodial settings would help, particularly where services must work within prison operating constraints and support sustained learner participation. The buyer’s use of a dynamic purchasing system shows that suppliers capable of meeting defined prison education requirements can access work through a structured call-off route. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement.
