## Summary

The Ministry of Justice commissioned education and training services for rowing courses for prisoners at HMP Spring Hill. The service combines structured rowing and physical activity with skill development, social support and post-release support. Its purpose is to improve participants’ physical and mental health, build confidence and education, create opportunities after release, and help reduce reoffending. Delivery covers HMP Spring Hill and locations in London and the South East. This is a targeted rehabilitation and prisoner education service rather than a general sports coaching contract. It would suit organisations able to provide rowing instruction alongside structured personal development and support for people in custody and after release.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The Ministry of Justice awarded it to Fulham Reach Boat Club on 4 September 2026 for £20,322. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The estimated procurement value was also £20,322. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement under education and training services. It was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The original tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 3pm. This outcome confirms the buyer’s chosen route for obtaining a specialist rowing-based rehabilitation service at HMP Spring Hill.

This award provides a clear example of the Ministry of Justice buying a focused rehabilitation programme that links rowing with education, confidence-building, wellbeing and support after release. A credible future competitor would need practical rowing delivery capability, suitably experienced instructors and the ability to work safely and consistently with prisoners. It would also need to design structured learning and social-support activities, demonstrate an understanding of physical and mental health outcomes, and connect delivery in custody with meaningful post-release support. Organisations with community, voluntary-sector or social-enterprise experience may be well placed, particularly where they can evidence work that contributes to reducing reoffending. The requirement favours a joined-up specialist provider rather than a stand-alone sports activity supplier.
