## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services to provide cleaning courses for prisoners at HMP Highpoint in the East of England. The requirement covered two Wamitab Level 1 awards: practical cleaning skills for food areas and appliances, and practical cleaning skills for bathrooms and showers. The training is intended to help prisoners gain skills that support employment after release. This is a prison education requirement delivered in a custodial setting, rather than a general facilities-cleaning contract. Businesses with experience delivering vocational training, particularly practical cleaning qualifications for learners facing barriers to employment, are the most relevant potential suppliers for this type of work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to EWS Training Limited on 17 August 2026 for £14,778.31 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2027. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 15:00. The requirement was classified as education and training services and was treated as a services procurement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The selected supplier is EWS Training Limited, and the award value is £14,778.31 GBP.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for focused, employment-oriented training inside a prison. A credible future supplier would need to deliver both Wamitab Level 1 practical cleaning awards, covering food areas and appliances as well as bathrooms and showers. It would also need the teaching capability, qualified or otherwise appropriately competent staff, learner support and operational arrangements required to work effectively with prisoners and deliver training in a custodial environment. The buyer’s use of a dynamic purchasing system shows that suppliers able to meet the system’s requirements and respond to selective call-offs can compete through this route. SMEs and VCSEs were considered suitable organisation types for the requirement.
