## Summary

The Ministry of Justice commissioned a construction learning programme for prisoners at HMP Durham. The provider is to deliver the Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment and facilitate the relevant industry-specific CSCS test on site. The aim is to help learners gain a CSCS card and prepare for employment in the construction industry after release. This is education and training services, delivered at HMP Durham in the North East of England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Green Skills Partnership CIC. The award date was 13 October 2026, at a value of £10,400. The contract runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 April 2027. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 28 August 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procurement information does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be stated.

This award shows demand from the Ministry of Justice for prison-based construction training that combines an accredited Level 1 health and safety award with practical support for learners to take the relevant CSCS test. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need the capability to deliver construction safety training and arrange or facilitate the industry-specific test on site in a prison setting. They would also need to tailor delivery to learners preparing for employment after release and work within the operational environment of HMP Durham. The selected provider is an SME and a community interest company, indicating that this contract was delivered by a small, socially oriented supplier; the procurement was also considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
