## Summary

The Ministry of Justice bought forklift truck training for prisoners at HMP The Verne. The course is intended to upskill participants so they can progress through workshop roles in prison and gain skills that support employment after release. This is a training services requirement, delivered at the prison. The work combines practical forklift instruction with a rehabilitative and employment-focused purpose: suppliers need to deliver training in a custodial setting and help learners develop skills relevant to work in workshops and beyond.

The procurement is complete and FTW Training Ltd was selected for the call-off contract. The award was made on 22 September 2026, for £14,130. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was placed selectively through the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published procurement information describes the requirement and selection route but gives no separate award-scoring criteria.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future prison education requirements, this award demonstrates demand for focused vocational training that supports prisoners’ progression through workshop roles and employment after release. A credible provider would need to deliver forklift truck training in a prison environment and connect practical skills development with workplace progression. The requirement was met through a call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with delivering through that route would be relevant. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that this type of work is not framed solely for large providers. The contract was a discrete course-provision requirement rather than a broad education programme.
