## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has recently completed the award stage of a tender process for a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract aims to provide reading support for prisoners at HMP Wealstun, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. This procurement, valued at £27,776, falls within the education and training services industry category. The tender period concluded on 21 April 2026, with the contract initiated on 12 May 2026 and set to conclude on 31 March 2027. The procurement method utilised is selective, allowing for a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, favouring flexibility in selecting the supplier.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on delivering educational support services, particularly those aligned with socio-educational initiatives in prison environments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited for this type of engagement, as evidenced by the selection of Shannon Trust, a VCSE, as the supplier. Participating in such contracts can enhance a business's portfolio in government contracts and reinforce its credentials in delivering specialised educational services.
