## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for prisoners at HMP The Mount in the East of England. The requirement was a Level 1 Practical Cleaning suite of awards, delivered as a practical cleaning course to support prisoners in developing skills for employment on release. This was a services contract under CPV 80000000, covering education and training services. The work is focused on prison education rather than general facilities management or cleaning operations: the supplier is expected to provide structured learning and training leading to Level 1 cleaning awards. It is relevant to training providers with experience delivering vocational education in custodial settings or to learners requiring a route into cleaning employment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 3:00pm. The contract was awarded to EWS Training Ltd on 12 August 2026 for £35,230. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 April 2027. The Ministry of Justice is the buyer. The award is active and covers the full Level 1 Practical Cleaning requirement at HMP The Mount. The procurement record identifies the service category and delivery location, while the award outcome confirms the selected supplier and agreed contract value.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist vocational training that prepares prisoners for employment after release, with a practical cleaning focus. A credible future supplier would need to deliver Level 1 cleaning education and awards, organise practical learning for prisoners, and work effectively within a prison environment. Experience in offender learning, custodial education, employability programmes or regulated vocational training would strengthen a competing offer. Providers should also be able to meet the operational requirements of a dynamic purchasing system call-off and deliver consistently at a single prison site. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to smaller specialist training organisations as well as larger providers.
