Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. This contract, valued at £42,000, is aimed at providing labouring courses for prisoners at HMP The Mount, located in the East of England. The contract is classified under the education and training services industry category. It is set to commence on 25th June 2026 and will conclude on 24th April 2027. The procurement method was selective, using a call-off process from a dynamic purchasing system, which encourages participation from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This contract provides a significant opportunity for SMEs and businesses experienced in the education and construction sectors to establish or grow their presence within government contracting. The provision of labouring courses aligns with the demand for skilled workers in the construction industry, thus benefiting suppliers capable of delivering educational training services tailored to this sector. The supplier awarded this contract is the GLA Group, an SME with the capability to fulfil the requirements set out by the Ministry of Justice. Businesses that can deliver hands-on training and compliance with educational goals in a custodial setting would find this type of contract advantageous for expanding their market reach and service offerings.
