## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services for prisoners at HMP Wymott in the North West. The requirement was for a selection of bespoke personal development and employability courses designed to foster employment after prisoners are released. This is a services contract focused on preparing participants for work, combining personal development with employability support. The work is delivered in a prison setting and is intended for the prisoner population at HMP Wymott. Suppliers with experience designing and delivering tailored learning, employability or personal development programmes for adults in custodial or otherwise supported environments would recognise the core requirement. The procurement was run by the Ministry of Justice as the buyer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 27 July 2026 at 3pm, and the award was made on 20 August 2026. TWA Certifications Ltd was selected for the contract at an awarded value of £75,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2028. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procurement category was services, with education and training services as the classification. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award provides a clear indication of the Ministry of Justice’s demand for tailored employability and personal development provision in prisons. A credible future competitor would need to design bespoke courses around prisoners’ circumstances, deliver reliably within HMP Wymott or a similar custodial environment, and connect learning to employment on release. Relevant capability includes practical employability training, personal development support, learner engagement and delivery to people facing barriers to work. Organisations able to combine structured education with outcomes-focused preparation for release would be well placed. The procurement was accessible to SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, showing that a specialist provider does not necessarily need to be a large national contractor. Experience of partnership working in the justice, education or employability sectors would strengthen a comparable proposition.
