## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is buying music-production training for prisoners at HMP Pentonville in London. The supplier’s role is to teach practical music-production skills, with the aim of helping prisoners access viable employment in the music industry after release. This is a specialist education and training service, rather than a purchase of equipment or a general prison education programme. The work is delivered at HMP Pentonville and is intended for its prisoners.

The procurement has been awarded through a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. In House Records was selected, with an award date of 14 October 2026 and an awarded value of £15,000. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 April 2027. The tender deadline was 28 September 2026. The procurement was recorded as complete, and the award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the process details.

This award shows that the Ministry of Justice has commissioned focused, practical music-production training for prisoners at HMP Pentonville, with employment pathways in the music industry as the intended outcome. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to deliver hands-on music-production teaching in a prison setting and connect the skills taught to realistic employment opportunities after release. The selected supplier, In House Records, is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that delivery was undertaken by a smaller provider. Organisations with relevant music-production expertise and the capacity to provide structured training to prisoners are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement. The work sits within the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System call-off route.
