Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought training and qualification services for Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) courses for prisoners at HMP Feltham B in London. The provider is to equip participants with skills intended to improve their prospects of finding work after release. This is a focused prison education requirement, combining construction-related training with preparation for a recognised industry qualification. The procurement was made for the Ministry of Justice, which buys the service for delivery at the prison.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Green Skills Partnership. The award was made on 6 October 2026 for £14,700. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The stated tender deadline was 2 September 2026 at 3pm. The requirement was treated as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information gives no lot-level breakdown or evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for practical construction-skills training and CSCS qualification provision for prisoners at HMP Feltham B. Suppliers competing for this specific requirement when it returns to market would need to deliver suitable training and help learners achieve the relevant qualification, while adapting delivery to a prison setting. The intended outcome is to give participants skills that can support employment after release, so credible providers should be able to connect course content with that employment purpose. The selected supplier is an SME, and the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the requirement is accessible to providers beyond large training businesses.
