## Summary

The Ministry of Justice bought forklift truck training for prisoners at HMP Featherstone in the West Midlands. The supplier is to deliver and facilitate an RTITB-accredited counterbalance forklift course, including training, certification and a licence. Its purpose is to help prisoners gain employment after release. This is a training and education service delivered at the prison, rather than a purchase of forklift equipment. The requirement is focused on practical forklift skills and recognised certification for the counterbalance truck type.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to FTW Training on 30 September 2026. The contract value is £16,640, with delivery scheduled from 12 October 2026 to 28 May 2027. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from its Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The response deadline was 3 August 2026. The process is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information gives no separate scoring breakdown or award weighting; the stated requirement centres on delivery of an RTITB-accredited counterbalance forklift course, with training, certification and a licence.

This award shows a defined requirement for prison-based vocational training that connects recognised equipment-operation qualifications with employment after release. Suppliers competing for comparable future work for the Ministry of Justice would need to deliver counterbalance forklift instruction and arrange the associated certification and licence, with RTITB accreditation central to this course. They would also need to provide training in a prison setting and tailor delivery to prisoners preparing for employment. The call-off route through a dynamic purchasing system is relevant for providers seeking this type of Ministry of Justice work. The award went to an SME, and the opportunity was also marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist training providers can be relevant competitors.
