Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has completed a procurement process for the provision of Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT) training focused on Anti-Social Behaviour Disorder (ASPD). This contract is aimed at enhancing the skills of HMPPS Practitioner Psychologists to deliver this therapy to prisoners. The procurement process was carried out using a direct method, specified as below threshold without competition, and the contract was awarded to Anna Freud, a large-scale supplier, on 6th July 2026. The contract, effective from 1st September 2026 to 22nd December 2026, is valued at £36,000 with a gross amount of £43,200, and it covers personnel-training services as per CPV classification 79632000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the service industry, particularly those specialising in training and rehabilitation services. The direct procurement approach suggests the Ministry of Justice sought a highly specialised service, likely requiring a track record in delivering mental health interventions within institutional settings. Businesses with expertise in psychological therapies and experience in working within the criminal justice system would be well-suited for such contracts.
