Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured Thinkproject contract management software, specifically CEMAR, for its custodial facilities management contract. The requirement is for software-related services, rather than physical works or goods. The recorded delivery scope covers the United Kingdom as well as Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Thinkproject UK Ltd. The Ministry of Justice used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 25 September 2026. The awarded value is £134,532. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029.

This award shows demand for contract management software to support a custodial facilities management contract. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns will be able to provide CEMAR or a relevant contract management software service, and support its use in a facilities management setting. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller software providers may be credible competitors if they can meet the operational needs of a Ministry of Justice contract.
