Additional text

MoJ invites expressions of interest (EOI) from Original Equipment Manufacturers to the email address in this notice by 12:00 Noon on Wednesday 15th July 2020. On receiving an EOI MoJ will issue a Confidentiality Agreement for electronic return before issuing a Briefing Pack and questionnaire which will require Suppliers to provide, at minimum:

1. Supplier company and contact details including confirmation and/or evidence of OEM status (note: we do not accept producers who, in general, do not control the means of manufacture or own the IPR to the product. MoJ's strategy of engagement with OEMs allows improved control of the supply chain and reduces risk in asset management); and

2. Technical data / evidence or capability of the Supplier product and the Suppliers operational expertise and capacity to meet the minimum requirements as set out in our Briefing Pack

MoJ will review EOI submissions and reserves the right to conduct further engagement activity with Suppliers who can demonstrate the required product capability. The outputs of the EOI exercise and any additional engagement will inform evidence based decision making relating to the procurement strategy for this project.

Nothing within the notice commits the MoJ to conduct a tender exercise or enter into an Agreement and all information is indicative until and subject to change.
