## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured education and training services to deliver accredited, industry-standard banksman and traffic marshal courses for prisoners at HMP Highpoint. The training is intended to support employment after release and follows the CLOCS standard. This is a prison education requirement, focused on practical construction-site traffic management skills rather than general classroom education. Delivery is associated with HMP Highpoint, with the procurement recorded as covering London and the South East of England. The requirement is categorised as education and training services and falls within the wider public services category. Suppliers serving custodial education settings, vocational training providers and organisations able to deliver recognised traffic marshal or banksman qualifications are the most relevant audience. The Ministry of Justice is the buying organisation responsible for the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to Karen Mackey Consultants on 4 September 2026 for £14,400 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 8 April 2026 at 15:00. It was a services procurement with one requirement and no separate lots identified. The published information records SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise suitability. The purchasing route was a dynamic purchasing system call-off, so competition took place among suppliers eligible to participate in that system. The award is active and the overall tender is complete. The award basis is reflected through selection under the dynamic purchasing system rather than a separately stated scoring breakdown.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist vocational training that can be delivered in a prison setting and linked to employment outcomes. A credible future competitor would need to provide accredited, industry-standard banksman or traffic marshal training aligned with CLOCS requirements, with trainers and course materials suitable for prisoners at HMP Highpoint. The provider would also need to translate the training into practical employability value for people preparing for release, rather than offering only generic classroom instruction. Relevant capability includes managing delivery in a custodial environment, meeting education and safeguarding requirements, supporting learner participation and evidencing completion or qualification. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that established specialist providers as well as smaller mission-led training organisations may be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
