## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a call-off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System for providing Reading and Numeracy support to prisoners at HMP Gartree. This contract falls within the Education and Training Services category with a focus on services. The award was activated on 11th July 2025, concluding the tender stage, which officially ended on 9th June 2025. The contract period spans from 1st August 2025 to 31st March 2026, focusing on the regions of East Midlands and West Midlands in the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, making it a structured procurement process with an overall contract value of £19,158.24.

This procurement opportunity opens avenues for growth in educational and training services targeting the specialised needs of prison populations, particularly in literacy and numeracy. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete in this sector, given the selective nature of the procurement and alignment with the educational and rehabilitation objectives pursued by the Ministry of Justice. Businesses capable of delivering tailored educational services with proven success in rehabilitative environments are encouraged to seize similar opportunities, contributing to the development and welfare of incarcerated individuals.
