Classified under education and training services, the contract, awarded to Shannon Trust, is valued at £10,829 and is active from 19th January 2026 to 30th April 2026.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to compete for these contracts, given their flexibility and expertise in delivering specialised socio-educational support. Engaging in such contracts could bolster a business's position as a provider of innovative educational solutions while contributing to community rehabilitation efforts.
