## Summary

The Ministry of Justice bought a resettlement-through-sport programme for prisoners at HMP Winchester. The service is intended to help reduce reoffending by supporting prisoners with substance misuse issues. It combines educational and physical activities with mentoring and personal development sessions, making this a specialist rehabilitation and education service rather than a general sports contract. The work is centred on HMP Winchester. The programme is delivered collaboratively, bringing together its activity, mentoring and development elements to support resettlement. It falls within education and training services and is relevant to providers able to design and deliver structured support for people in custody, particularly where sport and constructive activity form part of a rehabilitation offer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Saints Foundation. It was a selective call-off under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded on 22 September 2026, runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2027, and is valued at £19,467. The stated tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026. The requirement was treated as a service contract. The procurement identifies the intended outcomes and programme components: support for prisoners with substance misuse issues, reduced reoffending, educational and physical activities, mentoring and personal development. The award was made to a single supplier. The process information describes the call-off route but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or evaluation weighting.

This award shows that the Ministry of Justice buys focused resettlement support for prisoners through its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, including programmes using sport and constructive activity to address substance misuse and reduce reoffending. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to bring together educational and physical activities, mentoring and personal development into a coherent programme for people in custody. Relevant experience in rehabilitation, resettlement or substance-misuse support would help demonstrate fit with the stated purpose; the service also calls for delivery suited to a prison setting and a collaborative approach. The published procurement marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the selected provider, Saints Foundation, is identified as an SME. It is evidence of demand for a specialist, bounded service rather than a broad prison education programme.
