## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for prisoners at HMP Guys Marsh in the South West of England. The requirement was for an accredited, industry-standard rail track maintenance course designed to prepare learners for the Personal Track Safety (PTS) course and employment on release. Training was also required to cover additional industry-standard subjects, including first aid, manual handling, health and safety, and fire awareness. The work therefore combines vocational rail infrastructure training with practical workplace safety and employability preparation for people in custody. It is relevant to providers with the ability to deliver formal accredited training in a prison environment, particularly those experienced in rail track maintenance and associated safety training.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Elite Project Services Ltd on 30 June 2026. It was a selective call-off under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than a standalone open tender. The awarded value was £22,081 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and the tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 15:00. The Ministry of Justice identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation led to an active award for the rail track maintenance training requirement, with the service category classified as education and training services.

This award indicates demand for a specialist training provider able to combine rail-sector competence with accredited delivery for prisoners. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to provide formal PTS preparation and rail track maintenance instruction, supported by current industry-standard content. Capability in first aid, manual handling, health and safety, and fire awareness would also be important because these subjects formed part of the required learner package. Providers should be able to demonstrate suitable trainers, course accreditation, structured learner support and the operational capacity to deliver safely in a prison setting. The opportunity was expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers with relevant rail training and employability experience could be well placed.
