## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed an award process for a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, aimed at providing reading support for prisoners at HMP Eastwood Park, located in the South West of the United Kingdom. This procurement process, classified under education and training services with a CPV code 80000000, was selective in nature, using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract commenced on 1st July 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, with an overall value of £28,778. The recent award announcement was made on 9th October 2025, following the tender period that ended on 21st May 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs looking to expand their service offerings in the education sector, particularly within the public prison system. Businesses specialising in educational services and training, specifically in the delivery of educational support for either adult or continuing education, would be well-suited for similar future opportunities. The emphasis on engaging SMEs and VCSEs underlines the Ministry of Justice's commitment to fostering inclusive participation, thereby allowing smaller, community-based organisations like the Shannon Trust—who secured the contract—to leverage their expertise for significant impact and growth in this niche area.
