## Summary

The Ministry of Justice commissioned a young adult life skills support service for residents of HMP/YOI Styal. The provider is to help young adults serving short or longer sentences take part in purposeful activity and engage with the wider prison regime and available services. The service also covers access to recognised qualifications and preparation for release, including signposting to established support in the community. This is education and training work delivered in a custodial setting at HMP/YOI Styal, in the North West of England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Kinetic Youth Ltd on 22 September 2026. The contract value is £62,067.33. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. The Ministry of Justice used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system for prison education. The requirement was procured as a single service contract; the stated tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 15:00. The contract is for delivery of the life skills support service to young adult residents at HMP/YOI Styal.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for focused life skills support for young adults in a prison, including purposeful activity, engagement with prison services, qualifications and release preparation linked to community support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show that it can deliver structured, relevant support to young adults with differing sentence lengths within a custodial regime, help participants work towards recognised qualifications, and connect them with established community support pathways. Experience of delivering education or support services in a prison environment would be relevant to showing that the service can work alongside the wider regime. The procurement was awarded through the prison education dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to be positioned to compete through that route.
