## Summary

The Ministry of Justice commissioned rail industry training for prisoners at HMP Wayland. The service covers a structured programme of rail-industry awareness, accredited training and progression towards employment. It is intended to help learners prepare for resettlement by gaining industry-recognised qualifications, mandatory rail competencies and routes into jobs in the rail and infrastructure sector after release. This is a training and education service, delivered to learners at the prison in Norfolk. The requirement combines training provision with support for employment progression, rather than simply supplying course materials. The intended participants are prisoners at HMP Wayland, and the programme is tailored to their access to work in the rail and infrastructure industries on release.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Elite Project Services Limited on 10 July 2026. The awarded value is £77,641.20. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was placed as a call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, using a selective procedure. The original submission deadline was 20 May 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Published information describes the programme and its intended resettlement and employment outcomes, but does not set out detailed evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates a specific Ministry of Justice requirement for prison-based training that links accredited learning to employment progression in rail and infrastructure. A credible competitor for similar work would need to deliver structured rail-industry awareness and accredited courses, cover mandatory industry competencies, and connect training with realistic employment opportunities for learners after release. Experience working with prisoners and supporting resettlement would be relevant to the setting and intended outcomes. The requirement is a focused training programme at one prison, rather than a broad education service across multiple sites. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement was also marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The call-off route indicates that suppliers need to be positioned to participate in the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System.
