The contract period is expected to commence on 9th January 2019 and conclude on 8th January 2022. The successful bidder will be required to offer tailored support for up to 2,500 learners, ensuring they achieve necessary qualifications in functional skills. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those with experience in delivering skills training and support.

The initial assessment should offer a transparent and formulated process, ensuring both literacy and numeracy are assessed and that all relevant Management Information can be audited either by the MOJ or Ofsted. The Ministry of Justice anticipates that there will be substantial recruitment in operational roles over the next 3 - 5 years with an approximate number of e 2,500 learners.
