This procurement, categorised under Education and Training Services (CPV code 80000000), involves the potential expansion of a previously successful pilot that served three prisons, with a view to potentially including up to 70 prisons across the UK over the next two years. An engagement event for interested providers is scheduled for 29th November 2018, with bookings required by 23rd November 2018. Interested parties can find more details on the planned event and express their interest through the MOJ Bravosolution sourcing portal, with further details to be confirmed post-registration. This initiative presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the training and community support sector, particularly those experienced in delivering NVQ City & Guilds accredited training in food preparation and cooking. Companies that specialise in catering training, mentoring, and rehabilitation services for vulnerable populations will find a suitable fit in this procurement process. By collaborating with the Ministry of Justice, these businesses can not only contribute to a social impact project but also expand their reach within the public sector, potentially securing contracts across a larger number of prison facilities. ## Notice Following successful pilot trials in three prisons, the Integrated Rehabilitation Partnership (IRP Prison Kitchen) programme is an end to end training, mentoring and employment programme for prisoners. The IRP is a staged approach to catering skill training, qualification accreditation and employment opportunities combined with continuous intervention support, pre and post release which will have a positive impact on people preparing to leave prison and better equip them to find sustained employment within the food industry and reduce the chances of reoffending. HMPPS wish to engage with potential providers regarding transitioning the pilot approach into a major programme which will deliver the programme across a significantly larger number of prisons. Ultimately, dependant on the success of the programme, this may over the next two years involve up to 70 prisons within the prison estate. By engagement with the training and community support sector Ministry of Justice (MOJ) aim to deliver a mutually beneficial contract to deliver tailored NVQ City & Guilds accredited training to prisoners in Food Preparation and Cooking within existing prison kitchens linked to a mentoring support programme to prisoners whilst in custody through to release and sustained employment. The purpose of this advert is to announce this initiative to interested providers within the training and support sector. MOJ wish to explore and test industry appetite for this work through a short-focussed market engagement exercise to further inform our aims, objectives and ambitions.
