## Summary

The Ministry of Justice bought practical barista training for prisoners at HMP New Hall through its Future Skills Programme. The provider is to deliver engaging courses intended to help participants gain employment as baristas or in hospitality and customer services after release. The programme also links participants with employers that have vacancies, with those links maintained throughout the contract. This is a vocational education and training service, delivered at HMP New Hall in West Yorkshire. The requirement centres on hands-on barista skills and employment pathways for people in custody, rather than general prison education or hospitality staffing.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Complete Skills Solutions on 12 October 2026. The awarded value is £42,337.50. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with submissions due by 25 September 2026. The published procurement data describes the training purpose and expected employer links, but does not provide a separate evaluation formula or detailed selection requirements. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. There is one award, for the HMP New Hall barista-course requirement.

This award shows demand from the Ministry of Justice for prison-based vocational training that connects practical skills to realistic employment after release. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to deliver hands-on barista instruction in a custodial setting and structure learning around jobs in barista work, hospitality or customer services. The requirement also calls for links with employers that have vacancies, sustained throughout delivery, so credible employer relationships and a clear route from training to employment are central capabilities. The award was made through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, indicating that familiarity with that route is relevant. The buyer considered the opportunity suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; a smaller specialist training provider could therefore be relevant if it can meet the delivery and employer-engagement needs.
