## Summary

The Ministry of Justice bought an accredited industrial cleaning course for prisoners at HMP Risley. The course is intended to support prisoners who want to enter employment or self-employment in the industrial cleaning sector after release. This is a training service, rather than a contract to provide routine cleaning services. Delivery is at HMP Risley, in the North West of England. The requirement sits within the Ministry of Justice’s Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, through which this specific course was commissioned as a call-off. Its focus is practical vocational education linked to a defined employment sector and a prison-based learner group.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TWA Certifications Ltd. The award date was 26 August 2026, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £34,947.50. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 4 August 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published details describe the course as accredited industrial cleaning training, but give no further breakdown of how bids were assessed.

For suppliers outside the award, this outcome indicates demand from the Ministry of Justice for accredited, sector-specific vocational training for prisoners at HMP Risley. A credible competitor would need to deliver an industrial cleaning course with recognised accreditation and tailor it to learners preparing for employment or self-employment after release. The requirement is education and training, not facilities cleaning, so relevant capability lies in course design, accredited delivery and supporting vocational progression. Suppliers competing through the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System would also need to be able to serve the prison-based learner group and deliver the defined course at the establishment. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
