Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a Call-Off Contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to Hercules (Training) Ltd for providing CSCS Construction Training Courses at HMP Stoke Heath. This procurement process is classified under the Education and training services category, with a focus on delivering Level 1 Health and Safety in Construction and CITB CSCS cards to prisoners, aimed at enhancing their employability in the construction sector post-release. The contract, valued at £10,800, spans from 26th January to 25th April 2026, and is based in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This stage of the procurement process is in the 'Award' phase, and the procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.

Additionally, businesses focused on aligning their services with social initiatives, particularly those aimed at enhancing post-release employment outcomes, will be well-positioned to engage with similar future projects in the region. The Ministry of Justice acts as the buying authority, facilitating growth for companies committed to contributing positively to social welfare and industry-specific training initiatives.
