Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for an in-cell television education provision for prisoners at HMP Brinsford. The requirement is a service delivered through prisoners’ in-cell televisions, supporting education within a custodial setting rather than a general classroom or training venue. The procurement is categorised as education and training services and covers activity in the East Midlands and West Midlands, with HMP Brinsford identified as the delivery site. This is a Ministry of Justice requirement for a specialist prison education service, so relevant businesses are likely to be those able to combine educational content and delivery with the operational, technical and safeguarding requirements of providing learning through in-cell television systems for prisoners.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to PeoplePlus Group Ltd for £15,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, specifically the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 3pm. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award information identifies the selected supplier and the awarded value; the procurement record does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional lot structure.

For a supplier assessing future prison education opportunities, this award demonstrates demand for a focused, technology-enabled learning service within the Ministry of Justice estate. A credible competitor would need experience delivering structured education or training to prisoners, together with the ability to provide suitable content through in-cell television and operate reliably in a secure custodial environment. Relevant capability would include curriculum or learning-content design, learner engagement without conventional classroom access, technical integration or content distribution, safeguarding, data protection and prison-specific operational compliance. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers may be able to compete where they can evidence dependable delivery, suitable educational expertise and the capacity to work with prison and justice-sector stakeholders.
