Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for streetworks courses for prisoners at HMP Standford Hill. This is a prison-based vocational training requirement, intended to provide prisoners with streetworks-related learning and skills. The work is delivered at HMP Standford Hill in the South East of England. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification describing education and training services. Suppliers in prison education, vocational training, construction skills or streetworks training may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can deliver structured courses in a custodial setting and support learners with different levels of prior experience. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, whose stated requirement concerns training provision rather than construction works themselves.

This completed procurement was a call-off from a framework agreement, using a selective procedure under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender closed on 29 July 2026 at 3pm. The contract was awarded to Wilbar Associates Limited on 26 August 2026 for £41,034, with an awarded contract period from 28 August 2026 to 27 March 2027. The tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One active award is recorded, covering the streetworks training requirement at HMP Standford Hill. The process was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the published information identifies the service scope and procurement method but does not set out additional scoring criteria.

This award indicates a defined Ministry of Justice demand for specialist streetworks training within the prison education environment. Businesses well placed for similar work would have credible experience delivering vocational or technical courses to prisoners, managing classroom-based learning in a secure establishment and adapting teaching to learners with varied skills and educational backgrounds. Relevant providers may include specialist streetworks training organisations, construction-skills educators, prison education contractors and social enterprises with established custodial delivery capability. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to provide the complete course service at an individual prison, work within Ministry of Justice procedures and demonstrate reliable learner support and delivery. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that smaller specialist providers may be able to compete through the relevant purchasing route.
