The Ministry of Justice has completed a procurement process for In-Cell Learning services via a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. This tender, classified under the 'Education and training services' industry category (CPV code: 80000000), was specifically for the provision of educational services to prisoners at HMP North Sea Camp, located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process was carried out using a selective method, with the tender period concluding on 16 January 2026, and the contract being awarded shortly thereafter, on 21 January 2026. The contract commenced on 31 January 2026 and is set to conclude on 30 January 2027, with a total value of £25,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those SMEs or organisations willing to collaborate within the public education and correctional facility sectors. Given its structure as part of a Dynamic Purchasing System, such contracts allow recurrent business engagement and partnership opportunities with government bodies like the Ministry of Justice. The pronounced emphasis on educational and training services makes it particularly suited for suppliers experienced in these fields, such as PeoplePlus Group Ltd, the current supplier. There are avenues for growth for new entrants or established providers capable of delivering substantial, scalable educational services tailored to the correctional setting.
