The successful contract, awarded to The Irene Taylor Trust, involves providing music sessions at HMP Pentonville in London. These sessions include live music, instrument learning, music appreciation, and songwriting, aiming at engaging individuals, especially those hard to reach, through creative initiatives. Conducted under an open, below-threshold competition, this procedure progressed from tender to award, with the contract active as of 1st April 2025, running till 31st March 2026. The procurement was valued at £24,300 and aligns with the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework, focusing on tutorial services within the musical domain.

This contract creates significant opportunities for organisations specialised in creative arts and community engagement, particularly those with experience in fostering motivational music environments. Suitable businesses are those offering professional musicians with relevant qualifications and a proven track record of impacting diverse communities, including mental health and substance misuse sectors. The procurement process encourages participation from SMEs and VCSEs, giving smaller and community-oriented organisations a chance to collaborate with public institutions like the NHS, thus fostering growth and expanding service delivery in new geographical areas.
