Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured software-related support and maintenance services for the Ministry of Justice and the probation service. The requirement also includes additional services to help specify replacements for Nimbus, an existing system. This is a service contract rather than a supply of goods or construction work. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. The buyer is based in London. The scope is relevant to technology providers offering operational support, maintenance and service-design or replacement-planning expertise for public-sector systems, particularly those able to work across geographically dispersed justice-service operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The Ministry of Justice awarded the contract to Roc Technologies Limited on 15 July 2026. The awarded value is £631,831.68, within an estimated range of £210,610.56 to £631,831.68. The contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 23:59. It is a services procurement with a three-year contract period. The published outcome identifies one successful supplier and an active award. The procurement used a framework call-off route, so future comparable opportunities may be competed among relevant framework suppliers rather than through an open tender.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from the Ministry of Justice for suppliers that can support and maintain operational technology used by the probation service, while also helping define replacement solutions for an existing Nimbus system. A credible competitor would need dependable software support capability, structured maintenance processes and experience of working with public-sector technology environments. It would also need to translate operational requirements into practical replacement specifications, manage service continuity and coordinate delivery across UK and overseas locations. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist technology firms may be well placed if they can provide the necessary coverage, governance and capacity, either independently or through suitable delivery partners.
