Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed a public procurement process for the award of a call-off contract, focusing on in-cell learning TV provisions for prisoners at HMP Durham and HMP Holme House. Classified under the 'Education and training services' industry category (CPV code 80000000), the contract, valued at £50,000 GBP, is part of the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System and follows a selective procurement method. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026. The procurement was destined for the North East region of the United Kingdom, with the award phase finalised on 20th March 2025. The buyer, Ministry of Justice, is located at 5 Wellington Place, Leeds, England.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in educational and training services that can deliver innovative in-cell learning solutions. While PeoplePlus Group Ltd, a large-scale company from Nottingham, was awarded the contract, the procurement framework is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating future tender opportunities under this purchasing system might be accessible to smaller and community-focused businesses. Participating in similar tenders could provide businesses the chance to establish themselves within the public sector, gain projects that align with government priorities, and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering impactful learning solutions in correctional facilities.
