Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned practical scaffolding training for prisoners at HMP Brinsford. The courses are intended to equip participants with skills to seek employment with a scaffolding construction company after release. This is vocational education and training, focused on scaffolding rather than general prison education. Delivery is at HMP Brinsford; the procurement data also identifies the East Midlands and West Midlands as delivery areas. The requirement is a service, not the supply of scaffolding materials or construction work. It is relevant to training providers able to deliver hands-on scaffolding instruction in a prison setting and support progression towards employment in the scaffolding trade.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. The Ministry of Justice awarded the contract to Fulcrum Scaffold Safety and Training on 22 September 2026. The awarded value is £19,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was competed as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system for prison education, using a selective procedure. The original tender deadline was 2 September 2026 at 3pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lot breakdown or separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from the Ministry of Justice for practical scaffolding training for prisoners at HMP Brinsford, linked to employment prospects after release. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to deliver safe, hands-on scaffolding instruction in a prison environment and connect course outcomes to work in scaffolding construction. The selected supplier’s business is specifically focused on scaffold safety and training, indicating the relevance of trade-specific instructional capability. Providers should be able to operate within a prison setting and deliver a focused service at modest scale. The call-off route also shows that relevant suppliers need to be positioned to compete through the prison education dynamic purchasing system.
