The Supply of Plexiglass and Polycarbonate Screens

Tender description

Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Services (HMCTS) Estate intends to procure a contract for Plexiglass and Polycarbonate screens, with an estimated value of GBP 2 million, to enable juries to perform their functions during trials while sitting closer than the 2 m safe-distancing guidelines of Public Health England, Wales and Scotland. The screens enable clear visibility and audibility for hearings in court rooms without the need for the juror to wear face coverings, and to retire to a room where they can discuss the case but be seated within 2 m of each other. There is also a need for the screens to separate defendants and advocates in courts when social distancing is not possible. The full requirement will include: • undertaking site surveys to define site specific requirements; • manufacture, delivery and installation of both plexiglass and polycarbonate screens; • coordinate and deliver the solution from survey to installation within a 3 to 4-week time frame; • delivery of the solution across England and Wales; • ability to manufacture of 400 screens per week.
