Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has concluded the award stage of a procurement process for a scaffolding course for prisoners at HMP Stoke Heath. This purchase was made under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System and focuses on education and training services within the East and West Midlands. The process was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract amounts to £21,700 and spans from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2026. The tender period ended on 12 August 2025, and the contract was awarded to Fulcrum Scaffold Safety and Training in mid-October 2025.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those looking to engage with dynamic purchasing systems. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, given the buyer's suitability criteria. The location in the Midlands and the specific industry focus suggest that companies experienced in delivering training programmes, especially in correctional or institutional settings, will find such contracts beneficial for expansion and establishing new client relationships with government entities like the Ministry of Justice.
