The purpose of this engagement is to secure wider market involvement in the testing and development of a new Prisoner Education Service in the HMPPS Prison Estate in England. MoJ is seeking to assess the level of interest, capability and capacity of a wide range of education providers to deliver the new service.

The procurement of these education services will cover the full scope of Prison education and all associated services. A procurement process is anticipated to commence in Spring 2023.

The Authority plans to hold a launch event to start the market engagement via MS Teams on 26th April 2022 from 10:45 – 12:15. This will include more specific information on service objectives and requirements. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the live event as well as at any time afterwards.

The Market Engagement Launch event will be presented by Sarah McKnight (Deputy Director for Reducing Reoffending) who will be joined by Amy Rees (Director General for Probation, Wales, and Youth) to set out our vision for improving prison education, skills and work provision. Suppliers attending the event will gain a better understanding of how they can engage with and participate in the next stages of the market engagement process (see below).

This will include additional subject specific supplier webinars, one-to-one meetings and questionnaires that will take place. Topics we would like to hear suppliers’ views on may include but are not limited to: providing a curriculum which meet the needs of people in prison; strengthening links between education, skills and employment; and innovation and best practice within education provision in the community.

Suppliers must register to the MoJ eProcurement Jaggaer platform [ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html ↗], to register to the Launch event and, when available, to access further information on the Prisoner Education Service and background to working with the Prison Service. All suppliers must be registered on Jaggaer to receive this information.

We are very interested to hear suppliers’ views throughout this process to enable us to shape new procurement and contracting arrangements that will improve performance, quality learner engagement and value for money.

We reserve the right to supplement and vary the conduct of the market engagement process. Where we do this, we will act transparently and treat all suppliers who have expressed an interest equally.
