## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured employability support services for prisoners at HMP Guys Marsh. The work involves delivering employability-related skills, supporting Industry Workshops, raising prisoners’ awareness of employment opportunities and helping open pathways into work after release. It is an education and training service, classified under CPV 80000000. Delivery is associated with HMP Guys Marsh in the South West of England. The requirement sits within the Ministry of Justice’s prison education provision and is aimed at improving prisoners’ employment readiness rather than supplying general prison education. Organisations providing vocational employability training, prisoner education or employment-focused support would find the subject matter relevant.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 5 May 2026 at 3:00 pm. The contract was awarded on 27 May 2026 to n-ergy Group Limited. The awarded value is £27,500 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active. It was conducted as a call-off under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than as an open standalone tender. The requirement was evaluated within that selective purchasing route.

This award indicates demand from the Ministry of Justice for focused employability provision in a prison setting, combining practical employability skills with Industry Workshops and preparation for release. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering structured training to prisoners or other groups facing barriers to employment, with the ability to connect learning to realistic work opportunities. Providers should be able to design and deliver sessions that build employment awareness, workplace skills and progression towards release outcomes, while working effectively within a custodial environment. Relevant organisations may include specialist employability training companies, prison education providers, community or social enterprises and smaller providers able to deliver targeted services through a dynamic purchasing system.
