Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has concluded a public procurement process for the delivery of a Forensic Psychologist in Training qualification, specifically designed for His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). Recently, a series of contract awards have been made to different suppliers, including Leeds Trinity University, Cardiff Metropolitan University, and The British Psychological Society, with respective contract values of GBP 579,600, GBP 691,200, and GBP 662,400. These awards are a result of an open procurement method and were signed in May 2025. The procurement category is centred on education and training services, with a focus on higher and special education initiatives, and is geographicaly based across the UK.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for academic institutions and organisations providing specialised educational and training services in forensic psychology. With contracts spanning four years and provision for numerous enrolments, entities equipped to deliver higher education services, particularly those with capabilities in adult and safety education, will find this an area ripe for growth. The winning bidders demonstrate that both large and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) have the potential to successfully compete in such tenders, as evidenced by the diverse scale of suppliers who have been awarded contracts.
