Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned dumper and roller training courses for prisoners at HMP Stoke Heath. The training is intended to help prisoners gain the skills needed to find work in the construction sector after release. This is vocational construction plant training, within the wider education and training services category. The named delivery site is HMP Stoke Heath; the procurement also lists delivery locations in the East Midlands and West Midlands. The requirement is for training provision rather than the purchase of construction machinery or construction works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Ministry of Justice selected RMF Construction Training Academy Ltd through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 22 September 2026, for £19,950. The contract period runs from 1 October to 31 December 2026. The original tender deadline was 19 August 2026. The procurement is treated as a service and was conducted using a selective method. The requirement was not divided into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to take part. The published information does not set out an evaluation formula or detailed eligibility requirements.

For construction training providers, this award shows a specific requirement for practical dumper and roller instruction within prison education, linked to employability in construction after release. A credible competitor would need to deliver relevant plant training to prisoners at HMP Stoke Heath and connect the course to the skills employers need in the construction sector. The successful supplier is a small business, and the procurement identified SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable participants, indicating that the requirement can be served by organisations of that kind. Providers with relevant training delivery capability and experience working in a prison setting would be well placed to meet this buyer’s requirement when it next arises.
