    Brief

    This is a call off contract opportunity under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to deliver literacy and numeracy support programmes to prisoners at HMP Liverpool. The successful supplier will design and deliver educational interventions addressing foundational literacy and numeracy skill gaps among the prison population. Services must support prisoners with low literacy and numeracy levels, as well as those for whom English is not their first language (ESOL learners). The programme should remove educational barriers and equip prisoners with essential communication and numeracy competencies. Suppliers should have experience in adult education, prisoner rehabilitation, and working with diverse learners with varying educational backgrounds and language needs.
