## Summary

The Ministry of Justice commissioned practical street food training for prisoners at HMP Pentonville in London. The service covers teaching participants how to prepare and produce food suitable for sale at local street markets, festivals, events and retail outlets. Its purpose is to develop practical skills and experience that can improve employment prospects after release. This is an education and training service delivered within the prison environment, with the work focused on food preparation, production and vocational development. Suppliers with experience in commercial catering, street food operations, hospitality training or employment-focused rehabilitation would find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can work directly with prisoners and link training to realistic routes into food-related employment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 6 August 2026 to The Liberty Kitchen Project. The contract value is £45,200, with the contract running from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 3pm. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than an open standalone competition. The award was active and covered the full street food training service at HMP Pentonville. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was based on the requirements set for this dynamic purchasing system call-off.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist vocational training that combines practical food production with employability outcomes for prisoners. A credible future supplier would need to deliver hands-on street food or commercial catering training in a secure prison setting, while adapting teaching to participants with different abilities and backgrounds. Relevant capability includes food safety and kitchen practice, menu and production planning, experience of preparing food for sale, and the ability to connect training with realistic employment after release. Organisations with a strong social-value or rehabilitation mission are well placed, including SMEs, charities and other voluntary or community enterprises. Experience working with prisons, justice services or disadvantaged learners would strengthen credibility.
