Careers Information Advice and Guidance (CIAG) services.
HMPPS is committed to delivering a new and transformed Prisoner Education Service (PES) that increases the focus on Education, Skills and Work (ESW) within prisons and supports prisoners to improve their prospects for work on release.
The PES Programme will focus on the following three overarching strategic priorities: • improving the numeracy and literacy of all prisoners who need it; • incentivising prisoners to improve their qualifications and skills to increase their prospects of finding work on release; and • ensuring that Governors and their teams have the knowledge, tools, support and accountabilities that they need to lead this work.
The provision of an impartial and high-quality Careers Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG) Service is fundamental to achieving our vision and our aims.
The vision of PES is that everyone of working age and able to work should leave prison prepared for employment or further education and training.
The new CIAG Service will contribute to reducing reoffending by supporting prisoners from induction to release identifying career aspirations, setting education, skills and work-related goals, and supporting prisoners to achieve their aspirations upon release.
The new CIAG contracts offer prisoners a high quality and impartial CIAG Service.
The new CIAG contracts shall replace the current CIAG services commissioned via the Prison Education Dynamic Purchasing System (PEDPS).
The CIAG Service is being procured separately to Core Education Provision This procurement will cover the provision of CIAG services in all prisons managed by HMPPS in England, with the exception of four prisons managed by private operators in England The procurement comprised eleven regional lots.
Service delivery under the Contracts will commence on the 1st April 2025.
