Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for community values courses for prisoners at HMP Standford Hill in the South East of England. The service is intended to help participants develop essential and transferable skills through experiential learning, confidence and capacity building, and emotional education. This is a targeted prison education requirement rather than a general training contract, so relevant providers are likely to have experience working with people in custodial or similarly structured settings. The work covers delivery of the community values learning offer and its associated personal development outcomes. It is classified as education and training services and falls within the services category. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, with the requirement focused on HMP Standford Hill.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 8 July 2026 to Kinetic Youth Ltd. It used a selective call-off contract under a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 20 April 2026 at 3pm. The awarded value is £44,412.72. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 June 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the arrangements for the dynamic purchasing system and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with Kinetic Youth Ltd as the selected supplier. This outcome shows that the Ministry of Justice used its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to procure a defined, site-specific learning service for HMP Standford Hill.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to combine practical prison education delivery with strong personal development expertise. Relevant capability includes designing and delivering experiential learning, building confidence and capacity, teaching transferable skills, and supporting emotional education in a structured custodial environment. Providers should be able to work with prisoners at HMP Standford Hill and align teaching with the Ministry of Justice’s expectations for safe, purposeful learning. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national training organisation. Social enterprises and community organisations may also be well placed, since the opportunity was identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evidence of reliable delivery, appropriate safeguarding and behaviour-management practice, and outcomes-focused course design would strengthen a competitor’s position.
