## Summary

The Ministry of Justice bought rail-sector education and training for prisoners at HMP Doncaster. The provider is to deliver an adaptable curriculum reflecting local and national rail-sector needs, work with the Prison Employment Lead to identify job opportunities and demand, select relevant qualifications, and prepare learners for employment after release. The work is delivered at HMP Doncaster. This is a focused prison education service linking vocational training to rail industry roles, rather than general classroom provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Engage Train Support Ltd. The award was made on 1 October 2026, for £30,509. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 16 June 2027. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The published tender deadline was 31 July 2026. The requirement was a single service for HMP Doncaster, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. The award information identifies the selected supplier but does not describe evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for prison-based rail training that is directly connected to employment after release. A credible competitor would need to design and deliver an adaptable curriculum aligned with rail-sector skills needs, identify suitable qualifications, and work closely with prison employment staff to connect learning to real job opportunities. The requirement combines vocational education with employment preparation, so providers need the capability to engage learners in a custodial setting and tailor training to local as well as national labour demand. The call-off route indicates that access to this type of work is through the prison education dynamic purchasing system. The selected provider is an SME, and the opportunity was also considered suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
