Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for prisoners at HMP Stoke Heath. The requirement was to deliver Level 1 Health and Safety in Construction training and provide CITB CSCS cards, helping prisoners gain the qualification and card needed to seek construction employment after release. This is a prison-based vocational training service, combining classroom or structured learning with support for the relevant industry card process. Delivery is associated with HMP Stoke Heath and the East Midlands and West Midlands areas. The work sits within education and training services and is classified under CPV 80000000. It is suitable for organisations able to work in a custodial setting and support learners with a route into entry-level construction employment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to Green Skills Partnership CIC on 17 September 2026 for £11,520, including the full stated contract value. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 April 2027. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 15:00. The award covers the complete requirement for Level 1 construction health and safety training and CITB CSCS cards at HMP Stoke Heath. The procurement was categorised as a services contract. The award is active, and the selected supplier is an SME and community interest company. The purchasing organisation is the Ministry of Justice.

This award demonstrates a defined demand for prison-based construction employability training, rather than general education provision. A credible future supplier would need to deliver Level 1 Health and Safety in Construction training, arrange or support access to CITB CSCS cards, and connect learning to employment in the construction sector after prisoners leave custody. Relevant capability includes teaching construction health and safety to learners with varied needs, managing assessment and certification, and working reliably within the operational constraints of a prison. Organisations with experience of offender learning, custodial-site delivery, vocational education or construction workforce preparation would be well placed. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, showing that delivery can be undertaken by a focused specialist rather than only a large training provider.
