    Brief

    This call off contract under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System seeks a supplier to deliver a rugby-based education programme at HMP Belmarsh. The programme is designed to support unemployed prisoners and those who are harder to reach, including individuals with learning or behavioural difficulties. Through practical rugby-informed activities and structured self-reflection, the programme will build prisoners' confidence, self-esteem, and pro-social behaviours, creating a pathway to further education, training, and employment. Suppliers should demonstrate experience in delivering educational programmes in secure environments, engaging vulnerable populations, and measuring outcomes in personal development and behaviour change.
