Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for prisoners at HMP Hindley. The requirement was for delivery of a fully accredited Highfield Level 2 Warehouse and Storage qualification and an RTITB-accredited LLOP licence, supported by customer service and wider employability or soft-skills training. The purpose was to help learners gain skills and qualifications that support employment after release. The work is delivered at HMP Hindley in the North West of England. This is a prison education requirement combining vocational warehousing training, powered industrial truck licensing and wrap-around learner support. It is relevant to training providers with the necessary awarding-body and licensing accreditation, experience of delivering education in custodial settings, and the ability to connect learning with employment outcomes.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 5 August 2026 to FTW Training Ltd. It was a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than an open standalone tender. The awarded value is £22,500 excluding any stated additions, in GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 4 June 2026 at 3.00 pm. The published requirement was classed as services and was identified as education and training services. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award records one supplier and an active award.

For a provider considering future Ministry of Justice prison-education requirements, this award demonstrates demand for compact, employment-focused vocational programmes rather than classroom training alone. A credible competitor would need to deliver Highfield Level 2 Warehouse and Storage training and RTITB-accredited LLOP licensing, while also providing customer service and soft-skills support. The requirement favours organisations able to manage accredited assessment, practical warehousing or powered-equipment training, learner support and the operational constraints of a prison environment. Experience helping prisoners move into employment after release would strengthen a future response. The procurement route also shows that suppliers need access to the relevant Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System and the capability to perform as an SME or VCSE-sized training organisation.
