The requirement was a Step into Construction training programme for prisoners seeking a route into construction after release. The programme covers Level 1 Health and Safety in the Construction Environment, CSCS certification, CAT and Genny training, Abrasive Wheels, Manual Handling and First Aid. This is a practical construction-readiness and employability service, combining core site safety knowledge, industry certification and equipment-related training. It would suit providers able to deliver structured vocational training in a custodial setting and support learners who may progress into construction work following release. The procurement is classified under education and training services and is intended for delivery at HMP Bullingdon. The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to Engage Train Support Limited on 7 September 2026 for £50,400. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 3pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier will provide the full construction training package, including safety, certification, equipment training, manual handling and first aid. The award was made to one supplier; the recorded award value is £50,400. This procurement indicates demand from the Ministry of Justice for a compact, structured construction training offer delivered to prisoners and linked to employment after release. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine vocational teaching with construction-sector knowledge, deliver Level 1 health and safety training, and support learners through CSCS certification. Capability in CAT and Genny training, Abrasive Wheels, Manual Handling and First Aid is central to the requirement, rather than a generic classroom training service. Providers should be able to work in a custodial environment, manage learners with differing starting points, and connect training to a realistic pathway into construction. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so a specialist provider with focused delivery capability could be relevant. ## Notice Award of a call off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System for Step into Construction provision for prisoners at HMP Bullingdon.
