Contract Summary
His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) is establishing the Government's vision to deliver an impartial and high-quality Careers Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG) Service that will support prisoners to engage with the right learning, development and employment pathways in prison to achieve their aspirations upon release. We will therefore be seeking to procure new contracts to deliver CIAG services in HMPPS adult prisons across England (including several privately managed prisons). Our vision is that everyone of working age and able to work should leave prison prepared for employment or further education and training. The new CIAG service will support prisoners from induction to release to identify career aspirations, set education, skills and work-related goals, and support prisoners towards outcomes on release. This will ultimately contribute to reducing reoffending. To achieve this vision, we are seeking to procure new CIAG contracts by engaging with a diverse range of suppliers that can offer prisoners a high quality and impartial CIAG service. It should be noted that the new Careers Information, Advice and Guidance contracts shall replace the current CIAG services commissioned via the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System (PEDPS).
