    Brief

    This is a call off contract opportunity under the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System to deliver music education courses at HMP Manchester. The successful supplier will design and deliver two music projects: one in October/November 2026 (aligned with Black History Month celebrations) and another in February/March 2027. Both projects will focus on Rap and Hip Hop music genres, chosen to align with the interests and preferences of the prison population. The supplier should have experience delivering music education in secure settings, understanding of the genres, and ability to engage prisoners in creative learning. This is a contracted service under an existing dynamic purchasing framework, so interested suppliers should confirm their registration status or eligibility to bid under this system.
