Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed a public procurement process under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, seeking music courses for prisoners at HMP Wayland. This initiative aims to enhance inmates' self-confidence, self-esteem, and soft skills, ultimately increasing their employability upon release. The process concluded with an award to "Finding Rhythms" on 2nd July 2026. The contract, valued at £15,900, spans from 27th July 2026 to 26th April 2027 and is categorised under education and training services. Situated in the East of England, the procurement involved a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, which facilitated targeted supplier engagement.

This tender offers businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with expertise in creative and rehabilitative programmes, an avenue for growth by expanding their service offerings to correctional facilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, as the procurement policy highlights suitability for these entities. Engaging in this sector could strengthen business portfolios and reputation by contributing to meaningful societal impacts within the UK justice system.
