## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has successfully awarded a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System for Literacy & Numeracy support for prisoners at HMP Swaleside. This procurement, falling under the Education and training services industry category, was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract, valued at £26,147, commenced on 3rd November 2025 and will conclude on 2nd May 2026. Located within the South East region of the United Kingdom, the final award stage was reached on 13th November 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as evidenced by the successful bidder Shannon Trust, which is recognised as both.
