    Brief

    This is a call-off contract opportunity under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to deliver reading provision and engagement services for prisoners in the London Region. The successful supplier will partner with prison stakeholders to understand what motivates prisoners to read and develop effective strategies to improve reading skills and encourage reading for pleasure. Key activities will include conducting focus groups, surveys, and prisoner voice activities to gather insights directly from the prison population, then using these findings to design and implement tailored reading programs. The supplier should be experienced in prison education, adult learning, and behavior change initiatives. This contract aims to increase literacy levels and improve prisoner wellbeing through structured reading engagement.
