Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned accredited prison education and construction training services for prisoners at HMP Springhill. The successful provider delivers Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card training, Certificate of Competence of Demolition Operatives (CCDO) card training and asbestos awareness training, and arranges for a CITB unit to attend the prison. The purpose is to give participants recognised certification and improve their access to employment in construction and related industries after release. This is an education and training services requirement, delivered in the South West of England. The work covers both classroom or practical training provision and the associated coordination needed to provide certification within a custodial setting. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was a selective call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 3pm. The Ministry of Justice awarded the contract to National Demolition Training Group on 14 September 2026 for £36,000 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 July 2027. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process; the published information identifies the training scope and selected supplier but does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring weights. There is one awarded supplier and no separate lot-level awards. The contract covers the complete CSCS, CCDO, asbestos awareness and CITB coordination service.

For a supplier assessing future Ministry of Justice prison-training opportunities, this award demonstrates demand for construction employability provision that combines recognised industry certification with delivery inside a prison. A credible competitor would need to provide accredited CSCS and CCDO training, asbestos awareness instruction and effective coordination with CITB, rather than offering general construction education alone. Experience of working with prisoners or other secure and highly managed environments would support operational credibility, including the ability to organise staff, learners, facilities and external awarding or industry bodies. The requirement also suits smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprise providers. Relevant capability therefore includes construction-sector training expertise, certification administration, safeguarding and custodial-site procedures, and a clear focus on helping learners move into construction and related employment after release.
