## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured accredited scaffolding training for prisoners at HMP Birmingham. The service is intended to help participants gain fully accredited licences or tickets that support employment in the construction industry after release. This is an education and training service delivered at the prison in Birmingham, within the West Midlands. The requirement covers a structured training programme rather than the supply of scaffolding equipment or construction works. Organisations operating in vocational training, prison education, construction skills development or accredited scaffolding instruction are the most directly relevant. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s requirement can be delivered by organisations of those types.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to Green Skills Partnership CIC on 25 August 2026 for £16,200. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original tender deadline was 7 August 2026 at 3pm. The stated basis of the requirement is delivery of an accredited scaffolding training programme leading to recognised licences or tickets for prisoners, with the wider purpose of supporting construction employment after release. The Ministry of Justice is the buyer, and the procurement is for services. There is one awarded supplier and no separate lot allocation is identified.

For suppliers that did not win this call-off, the award provides clear evidence that the Ministry of Justice purchases prison-based vocational training linked to employment outcomes in construction. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver scaffolding training in a prison environment, provide an accredited programme, and support learners to obtain the licences or tickets required for construction work. Experience of working with prisoners or other controlled learning environments would help demonstrate delivery capability, alongside qualified training staff and the operational capacity to run a programme at HMP Birmingham. Small businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are relevant types of provider for this requirement. The route also shows the value of joining and monitoring the relevant dynamic purchasing system.
