## Summary

The Ministry of Justice is buying Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) training for prisoners at HMP Lindholme. The programme is intended to give participants the qualifications and knowledge needed to pursue construction employment after release. This is a training and education service delivered at the prison; the recorded delivery location is in the North East of England.

The procurement has been awarded. The Ministry of Justice selected Through The Gate Solutions UK Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise, through a call-off from its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The award was made on 17 September 2026 for £16,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 15 May 2027. The original tender estimated a value of £16,000 and set a submission deadline of 3 August 2026 at 3pm. The procurement was selective, using the dynamic purchasing system call-off route. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for construction-sector training for people in custody, designed to support employment after release. A credible competitor for comparable prison education work would need to deliver CSCS training programmes and equip learners with the qualifications and practical knowledge relevant to construction employment. The work is a focused, single-prison programme rather than a broad construction contract, so providers need capability in training delivery for a prison population and an approach suited to preparing learners for work after release. The buyer used its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to make this award, so suppliers seeking similar work should be able to compete through that purchasing route. The successful provider is an SME, and the requirement was also judged suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
