    Brief

    HMP Rochester seeks a supplier to deliver an engagement programme for 'hard to reach' prisoners under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System. The programme will help participants develop essential skills including teamwork, confidence building, goal setting, and personal development. Delivery will be tailored to group interests (such as art-based activities) while meeting core learning objectives. The programme aims to encourage prisoners to engage positively with prison activities by pursuing education, skills development, work opportunities, and participating fully in the induction process and wider regime. Suppliers should be experienced in working with vulnerable or disengaged populations in custodial settings.
