## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured life-skills education and training services for foreign national prisoners at HMP Wandsworth in London. The courses are intended to help prisoners participate in the prison regime and access education, skills and work opportunities. They also support preparation for further education, training or employment during custody and after release, while promoting motivation to change and reducing self-isolation and self-harm. This is a prison-based education service rather than a general training programme, so relevant providers are organisations able to design and deliver practical life-skills learning in a custodial setting and work with foreign national learners.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to Catch22 Charity Limited on 3 August 2026 for £90,000. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2027. The procurement was classified as education and training services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement concerned one service at HMP Wandsworth, with the tender submission deadline on 23 July 2026 at 3pm. The selected supplier is recorded as having an active award, and the contract value and period are the awarded terms for delivery of the life-skills courses.

For a supplier assessing future prison education work, this award demonstrates demand for targeted life-skills provision for foreign national prisoners at HMP Wandsworth. Credible competitors would need experience delivering structured education or training in custodial environments, engaging learners with varied language and cultural backgrounds, and supporting participation in prison education, skills and work opportunities. They would also need to connect learning with progression towards education, training or employment in custody and after release. The requirement favours providers able to work constructively with prison staff and education teams, encourage motivation to change, and address disengagement, isolation and self-harm risks through appropriate learner support. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable organisation types.
