Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has concluded the procurement process for the "HMCTS Reform Evaluation: Quick Scoping Review of Infrastructure Reforms (TA3)" under the industry category of research services. This project, valued at £53,550, was carried out as a quick scoping review of infrastructure, covering the court estate and IT systems without new primary data collection. The procurement, conducted through a selective method with a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, took place with tender processes closing on 16 April 2026, followed by the contract period from 14 May 2026 to 31 August 2026. The awarded contract is linked with the supplier ZK Analytics Ltd, concluding the contract stage in the procurement lifecycle.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in research services to engage with public sector reform projects, particularly for those adept in reviewing infrastructure and systems modernisation. Businesses like SMEs and VCSEs, potentially well-suited to this type of service, can benefit by demonstrating their expertise in delivering precise and evaluative research without the need for primary data collection. Engaging in such projects will not only enhance their visibility within government circles but also strengthen their portfolio in the public sector market, increasing prospects for future collaborations with governmental entities like the Ministry of Justice.

Notice Title

HMCTS Reform Evaluation: Quick Scoping Review of Infrastructure Reforms (TA3)

Notice Description

This commission focuses on Thematic Area 3 (TA3) (Infrastructure), which encompasses reforms to the court estate, IT infrastructure, and data systems, including the decommissioning of legacy systems and modernisation of Courts and Tribunals Service Centres (CTSCs). Following the 2025 refresh of the overarching evaluation scope, TA3 will be addressed through a summary of existing external evidence only, with no new primary research. The project will therefore take the form of a Quick Scoping Review (QSR) and will include no primary data collection (e.g. interviews).
