Indicative Information packs are available for interested parties, which include details regarding registration with the MoJ e-Sourcing Portal.
The MoJ is developing its procurement strategy and wishes to provide the market with some information prior to formal tendering procedures. The MoJ welcomes feedback and invites the market to provide information through the completion of a short questionnaire. The Questionnaire can be found as an Annex to the Indicative Information pack.
Interested parties should contact the buyer and request the Information pack, by emailing CCMDlegalpublications@justice.gov.uk.
The Authority reserves the right to amend or remove part or all information prior to full OJEAU advertisement; nothing within this document constitutes any guarantee or binding statement. Supplier responses will not be evaluated, scored or form part of any ranking. Responses may contain commercially sensitive information and therefore will remain confidential. Engagement at this stage will not prejudice or affect any bids submitted at tender.
The publication of this PIN is voluntary and does not represent an acknowledgement with regard to the applicability of procurement or other rules governing the potential future process nor a commitment to initiate, run or complete a full procurement competition in relation to the contract as described. The MoJ reserves the right not to run any competitions for the services.
HM Government requires that tender documentation issued by Government departments for contracts with a value exceeding £10,000 over the life of the contract are published online (http://www.contractsfinder.businesslink.gov.uk) for the general public.
The resulting contract(s) shall also be published. Discretion may be used to redact information to protect key commercial interests or on prescribed grounds. Therefore, bidders who wish information not to be published if successful should secure agreement with the MoJ prior to submission. Only documentation relating to awarded contracts will be published. Key commercial interests, trade secrets and commercial interests which would be prejudiced by publication, following the tests in section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 may be redacted. http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/docs/foi-exemption-s43.pdf
The prescribed grounds for redaction are:
(a) national security;
(b) personal data;
(c) information protected by intellectual property law;
(d) information which it is not in the public interest to disclose;
(e) third party confidential information;
(f) IT security; or
(g) prevention of fraud.
The Freedom of Information Act came into force in 2005. If any organisation considers that any information supplied by them is either commercially sensitive or confidential in nature, this should be highlighted and the reasons for sensitivities specified. In such cases the relevant material will be examined in light of exemptions provided for in the Act.
