Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed the award stage of a contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System for providing Forklift Truck Training for prisoners at HMP Elmley. This procurement falls under the education and training services category (CPV code 80000000) and takes place within the regions of London and the South East, United Kingdom. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the value of the contract at £59,755. The process progressed through planning, tendering, and award, concluding with an active award status dated 12th September 2025. The contract commenced on 29th September 2025 and will end on 28th April 2026. The procurement was managed by the Ministry of Justice, located in Leeds, England, and was open to both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs and businesses involved in the provision of training and education services, as it highlights the growing demand for vocational training within the correctional system. The focus on forklift truck training creates a niche market for training providers looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector, especially those with expertise in vocational training and prison education. The selected supplier, FTW Training, demonstrates the potential success for businesses able to navigate the dynamic purchasing system effectively. This contract creates avenues for similar service providers to engage with future procurement opportunities, contributing to business growth by establishing a foothold in the public education and vocational training sector.
