The programme covers Level 2 welding and fabrication, a Level 2 coding qualification and abrasive wheels training. It is intended to build practical work skills and professional workplace behaviours, and help learners gain qualifications that support employment after release. The training is described as learner-focused and employer-led. This is a training-services requirement centred on delivering courses to people in custody, rather than supplying equipment alone. The procurement is complete and was awarded to TWA Certifications Ltd on 24 September 2026. The contract value is £39,996.32. Delivery is scheduled from 19 October 2026 to 18 January 2027. The Ministry of Justice used a call-off from its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, a selective procurement route. The original tender deadline was 14 September 2026. The stated requirement combines Level 2 welding and fabrication (City & Guilds preferred, or an equivalent industry-recognised qualification), Level 2 coding and abrasive wheels training. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers. For future work of this kind at HMP Haverigg, credible providers will need to deliver practical vocational courses in a prison setting and connect training to employment prospects after release. The requirement signals demand for provision spanning welding and fabrication, coding and abrasive wheels, with recognised learner qualifications and workplace behaviours as intended outcomes. A strong competitor would be able to provide Level 2 welding and fabrication credentials, preferably City & Guilds or an equivalent industry-recognised award, alongside relevant coding and abrasive wheels training. Delivery needs to be learner-focused and shaped by employers’ needs. The successful supplier was an SME, and the opportunity was also considered suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. ## Notice Call off Contract Under Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System for Welding and Coding Courses for Residents of HMP Haverigg.
