Description

BEIS is in the process of developing a new scheme to ensure that Group Litigation Order (GLO) members receive compensation for the effects of the Post Office Horizon scandal which is comparable to that available to other postmasters. Funding for this scheme was announced in Parliament on 22 March 2022. BEIS wishes to ensure that this scheme reflects the needs and circumstances of GLO members. In order to develop this compensation scheme, BEIS requires information regarding the GLO's original High Court settlement, in order to ensure that the cumulative settlements they receive (under the High Court settlement and the compensation scheme) are fair and accurate.

This contract was uplifted by a further £50,000. New contract value: £149,980 (excluding VAT).
