Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is buying court recording and transcription services. The requirement covers recording court proceedings and producing transcripts. The buyer is based in Andover, England; the stated delivery scope includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a service requirement for suppliers able to support court recording and transcription across a geographically broad range of locations.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to eSCRIBERS Ltd. The award was made on 11 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £166,666. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2029. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The original tender deadline was 3 September 2026.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future court recording and transcription requirements, the award demonstrates demand for specialist services supporting court proceedings, with delivery potentially spanning the UK and a broad range of international locations. Credible competitors would need the operational capacity to record proceedings reliably and produce accurate transcripts, including the ability to support work across multiple locations. The appointment of eSCRIBERS Ltd shows that a specialist provider can deliver this requirement through a framework call-off. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, so businesses of that scale may be relevant competitors if they can demonstrate the necessary court-focused recording and transcription capability and geographic reach.
