Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has successfully completed the awarding stage of a procurement process, under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, for a peer mentor-led literacy and numeracy service at HMP Channings Wood. This contract, valued at £36,500, runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 and focuses on education and training services. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The services are targeted for delivery in the South West of England, with the Ministry of Justice located in Leeds acting as the buying organisation.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for organisations involved in education and training services, particularly those focusing on literacy and numeracy improvement programs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), such as the successful supplier, Shannon Trust, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. Such contracts not only provide potential for consistent revenue over a specified period but also enable these businesses to contribute positively to social value initiatives within the prison system.
