    Brief

    This is a call-off contract opportunity under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to deliver creativity and arts courses for prisoners at HMP Durham. The service aims to engage prisoners who face barriers to participation in the standard prison regime by using art and creative activities as a medium for learning and personal development. The program seeks to help prisoners build confidence, develop new skills, and increase their motivation to participate in rehabilitation opportunities that can support their resettlement and reduce reoffending. Suppliers should have experience delivering arts and creative programs in secure environments and understand the specific needs of vulnerable or disengaged populations.
