Provision of the Management of the Register of Judgments, Order and Fines

Tender description

The Ministry of Justice require a supplier to manage and maintain the statutory requirement of the provision of a Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines, which is subject to Regulation 9 of the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines Regulations 2005. The information contained is to be made available under licence or on application from third parties. It is planned that this will be a concession contract with an anticipated value of £3 million per annum, awarded in line with the Re-use of Public Sector Information Directive 2015. Additional information: An Indicative Information Pack (IIP) will be made available in early December for interested parties, which includes details regarding registration with the MoJ e-Sourcing Portal. The MoJ is developing its requirements and 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. This will be found as an Annex to the IIP. Interested parties should contact the buyer and request the IIP by emailing CCMDlegalpublications@justice.gov.uk. The Authority reserves the right to amend or remove part or all information prior to full OJEU 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.
