## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed a procurement process under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, awarding a call-off contract to Chess in Schools and Communities. This contract is focused on providing educational services to train prisoners in chess as a means of enhancing their teamwork, confidence, and self-esteem. The procurement fell under the education and training services category and was conducted using a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract, valued at £11,500, commenced on 1st April 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026. The project will be delivered in regions across London and the South East of the United Kingdom.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities due to the procurement's focus on selective and dynamic purchasing systems. Businesses capable of providing unique educational services that contribute to personal development and community reintegration stand to benefit greatly from engaging in such public sector contracts.
