Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has recently awarded a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System for delivering a Foreign Nationals Life Skills course at HMP Wandsworth. This procurement, classified under the education and training services industry, was executed using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The process was completed by 24th June 2025 with an active award status as of 8th August 2025, covering the contract period from 11th August 2025 to 10th August 2026. This initiative is valued at GBP 88,000 and focuses on enhancing the skills of foreign national prisoners in the regions of London and the South East of the United Kingdom.
