## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured classroom-based construction safety training for prisoners at HMP Leyhill. The service covers the CITB Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment, preparation for the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) test and achievement of a CSCS green labourer card. It also includes employment brokerage and ongoing learner support. The supplier must be recognised by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). This is a prison education and vocational training service, classified under education and training services (CPV 80000000), delivered in the South West of England. The requirement is aimed at helping prisoners gain an entry-level construction site qualification and progress towards employment in construction-related labouring roles.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to TWA Certifications Ltd on 4 September 2026. The award value is £15,532.50. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 May 2027. It was a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 3pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with the Ministry of Justice as buyer and TWA Certifications Ltd as the selected supplier. The procurement covers one service requirement at HMP Leyhill rather than separately awarded lots.

This award demonstrates a defined Ministry of Justice requirement for prison-based, classroom-delivered construction safety training linked to employment outcomes. A credible future competitor would need CITB recognition and the ability to deliver the Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment qualification, prepare learners for the CSCS test and support them towards the green labourer card. The requirement also favours providers able to offer practical employment brokerage and sustained post-course support, not training alone. Relevant capability includes working with prisoners or other learners who need structured vocational progression, managing classroom delivery in a custodial setting and connecting qualified learners with construction employment. The call-off route shows the importance of access to, and compliance with, the relevant dynamic purchasing system.
