About

The Ministry of Justice awarded a contract to PeoplePlus Group Ltd for the delivery of Prison Education Services Core Education Lot 2, covering the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk Group and the Hertfordshire, Essex and Suffolk Group.

The contract, valued at AUD 97,000,000, was procured under the Open Procedure in accordance with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The service includes teaching and delivery of a two-layered curriculum for independence (essential subjects such as English, Maths, and digital skills) and a curriculum for opportunity, as well as high-quality, timely screening and assessment, tailored additional learning needs support, and, where applicable, prison library services.

The contract aims to improve prisoner numeracy and literacy, incentivize qualification and skill improvement to enhance employment prospects on release, and ensure governors and their teams have the necessary knowledge, tools, support, and accountabilities.
